The Rhododendron Lawn is proving a talking point when it comes to plans for Hamilton Gardens.

Hamilton City Council would have the lawn turned into a car park, and more themed gardens built on the site of the current main car park. Events would be moved to another lawn - Governor's Green - or an amphitheatre.

People are for and against this transformation. Where do you stand?
