Improvement District
Our district is a great place to do business. Hamilton is a traditional Scottish market town and a business centre that has always kept a keen eye to the future. Hamilton Our Town has been set up by the Hamilton Business Improvement District. This is an independent organisation set up by retailers and business owners to promote the benefits of shopping and doing business in our town.

Our Focus
What is a Business Improvement District? It is a business-led initiative where businesses work together and invest collectively to improve their own business environment. Business Improvement District creates a partnership between businesses across town and key stakeholders like the Police and South Lanarkshire Council.
The People Behind the BID
Board
Composition
The number of Hamilton Business Improvement District Directorships (12 Members) was set by our Steering Group, as detailed in the Business Plan.
