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. Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ 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, February 4 the debate came live from St Giles Ale House in the town centre. It featured the pub's landlord Terry Steers, Abigail Jackson from the anti-litter Facebook page 'Northampton's Rubbish' and Northampton Borough councillor Gareth Eales.
