Hard
to
believe
that
Hamilton
and
in
particular
the
Regents
shopping
centre,
was
once
a
shopper’s
hot
spot
.
Its
still
a
nice
airy
looking
place
once
you
are
inside
but
with
M&S,
BHS
and
now
Wilko
gone
and
it
being
unlikely
anyone
will
take
over
these
larger
stores
its
future
isn’t
looking
great.
There
are
still
some
decent
shops
all
the
same
including
WH
Smiths,
Costa,
the
Works
etc
.
The
outside
area
looks
poor
with
the
old
Baird’s
building
showing
severe
signs
of
decay,
a
similar
fate
no
doubt
awaiting
M&S
old
premises.
The
string
of
shops
outside
the
centre
all
seem
to
be
closed
(with
one
exception).
I
only
visit
for
the
loo
or
to
pop
into
WH
Smiths
or
for
a
coffee
now.
Theres
not
a
lot
the
owners
of
the
centre
can
really
do
with
all
the
hits
they
have
had
and
the
lack
of
stores
willing
to
move
here
but
at
least
the
council
could
clean
up
the
outside
area
-
A
radical
rethink
of
what
to
do
with
this
once
thriving
shopping
centre
is
needed
before
it
turns
into
an
derelict
slum.
I
feel
sorry
for
the
shop
owners
sticking
this
out,
it
can’t
be
easy
for
them.
