Are you happy in Hamilton?
Hi neighbours! Results from the latest Nielsen Quality of Life survey have shown that 84 per cent of Hamilton residents say they have a good quality of life, up from 82 per cent two years ago. While positive responses cite increased development, new buildings, and renovations, some people are concerned about a perceived increase in crime, traffic congestion and the high cost of living.
We are looking for constructive opinions on what Hamilton is doing well, as well as what Hamilton could improve on.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
