00:00 Obviously, economy-wise, looking around, there's a lot of empty premises. There needs to be
00:22 a lot more attractive brands coming into the town to attract more footfall. That will create
00:29 more jobs, more revenue. Also, health-wise, I would like there to be much more emphasis
00:34 on looking after people when it comes to NHS and medical services. There needs to be far
00:41 more improvements with the wellbeing of people. I think they need to look at crime in Wellingborough,
00:48 the cost of living in Wellingborough, affordable housing in Wellingborough. Need more entertainment.
01:00 Nothing here, you know, all the time it's going to different towns. Improving the state
01:06 of the town and obviously trying to attract shops into the area. Much more place, yes,
01:14 because I don't like going out when it's dark at all. I'm always a bit cautious. Just improve
01:23 the area overall so it's more welcoming to people. Garbage disposal. They come in about
01:29 once a week if we're lucky and people are putting the stuff on the floor. Cut immigration,
01:34 main thing. The town is ruined. I look at myself, born and bred. I walk into town now,
01:43 I don't know anybody. I've lived here for 37 years and it's 37 years too long.
