That tall square building on the left hand side is an apartment block.

We lived there on the 8th floor for a while when we first arrived to UK from Japan.
When we moved in it was quite new and was being marketed as Executive Apartments. There was a big fully equipped gym on the ground floor together with a nice spa area with pools, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi.

Within a year the council had taken over more than 50% of the accommodation and the whole place had become a drugs-den and brothel with the dregs of Northampton being accommodated there. The gym and spa area got closed down and all decent residents had vacated. Us included.

Amazing how the local council can have such negative impacts.
Also amazing just how little positive impacts are created by councils.

Just my thinking
