Welcome to the  Hamilton Public Consultation

What is the Masterplan?

​

This new masterplan for Hamilton town centre seeks to demonstrate the physical and spatial moves, approach and attitude required to deliver a re-energised and resilient town centre core. The vision re-imagines the future of Hamilton and sets out to define the next phase of its evolution.

 

We have a once in a lifetime opportunity to repopulate the town centre and reintroduce the diverse uses that meet the community’s needs. Reconnecting the community to the centre and focusing development in a core area is not only critical to the wellbeing of that community, it is the most environmentally responsible future we can strive for.

 

This masterplan provides a summary of the framework developed for South Lanarkshire Council to deliver the social and cultural ambitions of the community. It presents a ‘joined up’ approach to new development where uses are positioned in relation to each other to create the vibrancy and activity that is key to a thriving town centre.

​

Bringing together the many positive moves currently in development in Hamilton, this masterplan is a clear statement of ambition that is based on best practice and known successes. It is influenced by a depth of market understanding and is achievable. It offers a shared vision and can project an alignment of intent that will position the town well to apply for future public funding and attract private investment.
