RECENT criticisms of the choice of location for the Electric Vehicle (EV) charging station on Lonsdale Street has prompted the Southern Grampians Shire Council (SGSC) to respond, with indications the issue is far from over.

Last week, Hamilton RSL president Danny Bland, and vice-president Graeme Mustow OAM, wrote a Letter to the Editor expressing their concerns about the placement of the station, claiming it had “no place in the same location as memorials erected in memory of men and women who gave their lives in defence of our region and country”.
