As 2021 comes to an end, we have looked back at the front pages of the Chronicle & Echo from the past 12 months.
It always makes a fascinating look at what was setting the news agenda at the time and what was making front page headlines.
There will be stories that you remember, but some that you have probably forgotten.

We had visited the issue of flytipping in the town centre earlier in the year. One of the things to come out of that was a mass clean-up of the streets organised by Northampton Town Centre Business Improvement District. We were happy to get behind it and issue a rallying cry for volunteers to come and help out.
