Melissa Walters
Council have proposed to redevelop Garden Place for $3.9 million. Do you think they should?
No. They put things up and then they take things away.
Do you think $3.9 million could be spent elsewhere in Hamilton and if so where?
It can be spent on the homeless.
The new proposal looks set to include traffic in Garden Place. Do you think this should happen?
Not even. It’s ridiculous. It’s even ridiculous how they’ve got the cars coming through it again. They should have left it the way it was.

I don’t know.
Do you think $3.9 million could be spent elsewhere in Hamilton and if so where?
I reckon the Base needs to become more of a friendly environment for people. There’s so many car parks and not enough trees and stuff.
The new proposal looks set to include traffic in Garden Place. Do you think this should happen?
Yeah, that’s probably necessary.

Yeah. Hell, yes. On the elderly and the homeless.

No we don’t need more cars in Garden Place. Leave the bloody thing alone!
