Dear Sally
Thank you for your comments left on the 1st July. We are pleased that you like visiting Marshall's Yard and are sorry that you experienced a fault with our facilities. I have now consulted with our cleaning operatives on the site and we have scheduled for more regular checks to be carried out on this facility throughout the day to ensure that standards remain high and that the facility is well equipped at all times.
Thank you again for your comments.
Kind regards
Jackie Helliwell
Centre Manager

I`m a locally based Television actor /presenter that visits Gainsboroughs Costa coffee on a regular basis,have done for quite some time.

This is my favourite Costa coffee outlet ,absolutely love it.Also my favourite Costa Coffee staff ,they are generally outstanding in proffesionalism.

Marshalls yard provides the almost perfect backdrop for a lounge type coffe outlet for proffesionals to relax and discuss work/leisure interests.

Im just a little dissapointed recently at the lack of control from staff with increasingly undesirable student ,youth types sitting outside with feet on the tables eating Tescos products and littering the area with Tesco packaging.Its beginning to look a bit of a mess outside.
The general feeling is that these youths are friends of younger Costa staff and are deliberately ignored.

Needs cleaning up in order so"not" to deter regular customers wishing to pay a little extra to enjoy a lounge style coffee in a lovely setting such as Marshalls Yard Gainsborough, whom pay a great deal of attention to detail to make the Yard a very special place for respectable locals to enjoy.

More attention from Yard security would be an asset ,being that as I know that Costa are currently on the site Secure radio network.

Pedestrian crossing
Can this facility in the yard please be signed posted that pedestrians are crossing as twice this week i have witnessed motorists failing to stop thus almost causing a potential fatality situation.
The Highway Code Regulation states that:

As you approach a zebra crossing
look out for pedestrians waiting to cross and be ready to slow down or stop to let them cross
you MUST give way when a pedestrian has moved onto a crossing
allow more time for stopping on wet or icy roads
do not wave or use your horn to invite pedestrians across; this could be dangerous if another vehicle is approaching
be aware of pedestrians approaching from the side of the crossing

A zebra crossing with a central island is two separate crossings (see Rule 20).

What happened to the horse and carriage rides this year?

I've got a suggestion for development around the back of Marshalls Yard:
The land where Stamford homes were meant to build houses has not materialised so it could be purchassed back and developed into more large shop units that could appeal to retailers looking to open large stores such as Iceland, Netto, Home Bargains, TJ Hughs, Primark etc. This would also make the smaller existing units round the back look more attractive which at the moment are a bit off the beaten trail and not suitable for the larger retailers. Plus it would strengthen the appeal and offer of Marshalls Yard as well as the Town Centre overall.

Public Toilets

In response to comments posted regarding public toilet facilities, you will all be pleased to hear that we now have plans approved for the facility to be put in place and work will be starting soon on converting one of our units into public toilets. We will keep you posted and let you know when the works have been completed and the facility is open to customers.
Kind regards
Jackie Helliwell on behalf of Marshall's Yard

Dear All

In response to comments left regarding the car parking charges and customers who are only wishing to pop onto the centre to get something for lunch or to pick up something from a store - there is a 15 minute grace period with our car parking system whereby once a car is seen without a ticket, they are given 15 minutes before any penalty tickets are issued. This should give sufficient time for anyone who is simply popping onto the centre either for lunch or just to pick something up. The times the car was seen is written down by security so that there is no confusion as to what time the car arrived on the centre.

Please also note that car parking for disabled badge holders is free as long as the badge is displayed in the vehicle and is visible.

its a pitty about the charging for parking we was promised free parking. No toilets its 2009 not 1899,when& if new shops open round the back how do you get to them walk right round why no walk threw

I think that there should be a public W C because if you have a young child with you and they need the toilet then they nearly always wait until the last minute before they tell and then you have hell of a job to get your child to one
