Summer Clean – A Week of Action
Businesses are being encouraged to clean their windows, sweep the pavements, paint woodwork and carry out any tasks to tidy-up their doorways, taking before and after pictures to show the difference they have made. Businesses are also invited to join us, the street cleaning team and the Mayor for a morning of litter picking in the town centre. August 23 will form the focal point of a week of action across the town. Other days will see similar activities organised by Northampton Town Council, with each councillor taking the lead for their individual wards. It forms part of a series of projects to tidy up the town, encouraging all business owners to take pride in their premises and get Northampton looking its best. All businesses will be promoted through our social media. If you are interested please email info@northamptonbid.co.uk

The festival will be preceded by a week of music in local music venues throughout the town. A special thanks to these venues. This event is a successful public / private sector partnership.
