Love Northampton round-table discussion January 28: Homelessness special
Our regular Love Northampton debate concentrates on homelessness
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.
大象传媒 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, January 28 the show concentrated on the issue of homelessness in the town.
The panel consisted of Northampton Borough Council Cabinet member for Housing Stephen Hibbert, Father Oliver Coss from All Saints Church and Amarjit Singh Atwal, who helps run the Sunday evening Sikh Langar or community kitchen.
