Northampton has so much potential. It is a massive town with so much history and beauty. There are pockets of "things happening" musically and creatively however it’s NEVER enough. But why?
What is it that makes this town as it is? Is it the people who live here or the people who organise the events?
There was a little music festival event this weekend, music was coming from all parts of the town; well that is what was supposed to happen. However, what I saw was a cold wet day, a marquee, 1 sad little hot dog stand and about ten security staff with no body to keep in line. There was nobody there!
This town needs something, maybe there would be more smiles here. I went for an interview in Northampton before and her said he finds it hard to find staff because most people earn more on the doll here and would rather do that than get out of bed to do a hard 5am shift.
Look at a place like Leamington Spa, it is beautiful. It has amazing buildings and tiny unique shops. What do we have here, Pound Land, Pound Stretcher and The Pound Shop. Maybe thats the problem; too many shops where you can get everything you could ever possibly need for one whole pound.
