Fire 🔥 at dominion park

Norma from Nawton

I just took my dogs for a walk and three young kids were busy setting fire to the big purple slide ,they put a rubbish bag under and inside of it and set it alight,it was going for a while,noe there is a big hole in it .smashed all the glass bottles all over the place ,they ran away when I said I was phoning police .i found a bottle and had to pump water to try and put it out ,I managed pretty much till a man I think from council came as saw me and was obviously wondering what I was doing ,and he put the last bit out for me.the three were wearing hoodies and had scooters ,if you are the parents ,give them a good hiding,take away all privileges .this has ruined this for other children now if we go to level two next week ,for them to play on .thoughless little thugs.hope the cctv camera was working .

Have you heard about this Hamilton petition?

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

A group of Hamilton business owners have started a petition to stop the council from hiking up rates and passing the cost of what they say are unpopular projects on to residents.

It frustrates longtime residents Tom Andrews, a former roading engineer who owns Classics Museum and has property interests and Jo Reeder, to see Hamiltonians facing large bills.
