What we do in Northampton

Northampton is one of our home areas, a short drive from the yard in Exhall, so surveys, fitting days and follow-up visits are easy to arrange.

Shopping streets and planning in Northampton

Since 2021, planning for Northampton has been handled by West Northamptonshire Council, which replaced the old borough council.

The town centre is built around the Market Square and Abington Street, with a mix of national names, independent shops and empty units being brought back into use. Parts of the centre, including the area around All Saints Church and the Market Square, sit in conservation areas.
