Love Northampton round-table discussion December 17, 2018

Available for over a year

Northampton town centre is much maligned. Empty retail units, litter, homelessness and crime are all issues people return to. There is, however, a movement which says things aren't as bad as they are made out to be - in fact, they are pretty good. Some people say there is plenty going on, including new projects and schemes which are already taking place or could transform the town. There is a movement which says people should love Northampton, stop complaining about the problems and start coming up with solutions. BBC Radio Northampton launched our Love Northampton project last year, with the aim of championing these projects while bringing together the people trying to improve the town - as well as discussing the problems which do exist. As part of the project, presenter Stuart Linnell is holding a series of round-table discussions every Monday between 6-7pm. On Monday, December 17 he was joined by borough council leader Jonathan Nunn, Becky Adams from Screen Northants, Julie Teckman, who runs the Vintage Guru emporium in St Giles Street, and town historian Mike Ingram.
