Northampton town, England….. what’s gone so wrong ?

[@pousoaviles]

I lived in northampton from 1997 to 1999. there were many clubs and pubs, Visage, Wig and pen, chicago rock cafe... in 1999 I returned to Spain but the 3 years I spent in northampton were very good, I worked at the stakis casino for almost 2 years and i lived on palmerton road. I walked home and from work and never had a problem. unfortunately Northampton is no longer what it used to be.

I was born in Northampton in the 50s, Spencer Estate. - Great time in my youth in the bars of the town. In the late 90s we opened a Health Food shop in The Grosvenor Centre called HEALTH QUEST which we ran for 14 years - We sold it in 2005. We moved to Dorset. We frequently come back to visit family and friends and often pop into the town to eat. Sadly like most towns its dying as more and more buy on the internet. 90% of my shopping is now online - So we can only blame ourselves for towns decline. The county of Northampton is on par with the Cotswolds.

I notice you don't go down the drapery where the shops are and bus stops where it's busy but walk down the service road behind it and say ' you can see for yourselves' how it has deteriorated, I'm not saying it hasn't but I'm curios as to why you chose that route past the building site and say ' look it's dead, it's a ghost town' as you walk down a back alley?

[@stuartlee8041]

Quite a number of things have happened, to cause the demise of so many of our towns and cities, 1. out of town retail parks with free parking, 2. The rise of the supermarkets, selling everything under one roof, with free parking, 3. Internet shopping, anything you want delivered to your door, 4. Mass immigration, bringing cheap labour, meaning lower wages and higher rents, causing more people with less to spend, 5. shops of foreign ownership, Euro Markets etc, takeaways, providing for people living in town HMO's, 6. Young people who've never experienced the town as it used to be, and could never afford the pub prices, on their zero hours job contracts. Basically the young don't have money anymore, and there's no reason to visit the town, older people who remember Northampton as it was, are horrified at what has happened to our once wonderful town, see nothing left to visit for.

[@jimbaf]

The biggest problem is the old Bus Station was replaced with something totally inadequate. It should of been properly rebuilt on the former site. The grosvenor centre was connected to the Bus station and always had a steady influx of people. I can remember the centre of town absolutely heaving at weekends. The town centre has since been in steady decline as the main department stores close down. I've lost count of the number of times Northampton town centre has had taxpayer money to refurb Abington street or the Market square. Has it changed anything ? No. With the lack of high profile stores in the town, and a useless bus station travel hub, it's allowed places like Milton Keynes, Rushden Lakes, Northampton Riverside and even Weston Favell centre to thrive.

I am living here and still enjoying the town. The Abington Street is dying now even more, I hope this will be reversed. But we can’t forget, it’s an old town and overpriced for the real value of the life there and overpriced old homes. English people will not live in town centre because the quality is too low.

Hi, great video, yea this was pretty grim in truth but everything you said is true, this was a great town with a really lively town centre and good shops, everyone has their theory on why things have deteriorated so badly from the late 90s to now, I think that was the start, losing Woolworths and rent going up for business owners, the market is a shadow of its former glory, I remember when it was full with stalls from top to bottom, and the fish market was still in full swing, The council does not care, we have the worst council in the country I believe that’s official and it’s been continuously one of the worst performing councils for over a decade, yet nothing seems to change, standards have fallen, socially we’ve fallen, people aren’t as friendly as they used to be by and large, I wonder if that has crept into the youth culture, there may be other factors there, but if you speak to long serving cab drivers they can really tell you the extent of the problems we’re facing now, and yea as you say the homelessness was getting to a really dangerous level Thanks for taking the time to make this video, you have the pride and passion so few seem to have nowadays 👍🏻

Once the bastion of the retail and service industries, our city & town centres are inexorably moving towards a new role as social and entertainment hubs. The urban retail sector is likely to survive, but in future it will err towards specialist vendors operating from small shops and market stalls. That's how I see it, anyhoo... 🖖

Agree the Tory's need to go. But I love the town and always will, my family owned shoe factories in the county, I love the folk here, I love the character. Yes things in the centre of Northampton may not be the best any more but there are plenty of good nights out at other locations than in the centre. Most people wouldn't even bother with the centre now for a night out. Centres are degrading across the country anyway in a lot of small towns because people just don't look for their nights out there anymore. The internet has a lot to do with that and I don't really see that as a bad thing. If you just focus on the most obviously degraded parts of the town then you will obviously find a negative picture. Look for something good a bit off the beaten track and speak to people and you might find something positive. 16:37

Visage was the nightclub

[@Lee_303]

Yes it closed because they couldn't do crowd management & there was a scrum to get out when a couple of people got crushed?
