Northampton town centre has awoken today (Monday) as the so-called 'Glorious Twelfth' kicks into action as lockdown continues to ease.
From today all non-essential shops are allowed to open, as well as hairdressers, beauty salons, gyms and swimming pools. Pubs, restaurants and cafes can reopen for outdoor service but will have to wait until at least May 17 to serve customers indoors.
The Chron is reporting live from across town today. Included here is a round-up of pictures from the day.
