How the council’s trying to spruce up Hamilton’s CBD

It’s part of a project to spruce up the central city, which the council says “needs some love”.

New street furniture is also popping up along the main street, and further work will include lighting, a clean for pavers and tables, and getting rid of dead trees, Hamilton City Council says.

The Hood St light poles need repairs to keep them going, Operate and Maintain unit director Tania Hermann said in a statement.

“We are sanding and painting the poles which we expect to extend their life by 20 years and which is a more affordable option than full replacement.”
