ON THE BEAT

We at Police Scotland hope that you have been enjoying the summer and that the weather picks up soon.

Our officers continue to support Hamilton Our Town and the efforts they are making in promoting the town centre and in assisting local businesses.

We also wish them every success in the events that they have in the near future including 'Summer Fest' which is from July 7 to August 2 (see page seven).

Festival highlights include: Scottish Chamber Orchestra Summer Classics on July 17; Hamilton Summer Gala on July 19; and the Town Centre Trail on July 26
