Michael Dunkley, Governor George Fergusson and other dignitaries were taken on a “walk and talk” in North Hamilton this month, an event organised by the Young Progressives.

The group took its guests to the area to meet residents and business owners.

A spokesman for the Young Progressives thanked those involved for taking part.

“The response from the local residents and merchants has expressed their positive experience and frank interchanges with their representatives,” he said. “The Young Progressives will be holding a post mortem, focusing on emergency job-creation possibilities in the area.”

The walk and talk took place on October 1.
