A spokesman for Gregory Max Barbers, which still has a branch in Midsummer Arcade in Milton Keynes, said he was unable to say why the Northampton branch closed.

He also said he wasn't able to say at the moment if they would be opening another branch in Northampton.

The business unit sat empty for a number of years ahead of the opening of Explicit after the closure of fashion shop Jane Norman.
