The arrangement between a private entity and the council, where taxpayers fund £80 a night for accommodations ostensibly meant to support homeless individuals, is deeply troubling. This setup not only squanders public funds but also subjects vulnerable people to dehumanizing treatment reminiscent of George Orwell’s 1984. For starters, the price tag—£80 per night—is exorbitant for what is typically basic, often substandard, accommodation. Such inflated costs, funded by taxpayers, are a blatant example of profiteering at the expense of the public purse. The lack of transparency regarding how these funds are allocated raises significant questions about oversight and accountability. Who benefits from this arrangement, and why are such high rates deemed acceptable when more cost-effective and humane alternatives likely exist? The treatment of the homeless residents compounds the issue. Reports of pervasive surveillance, with security staff listening in on conversations through an extensive camera network, are chilling. Such measures, far from providing safety, create an oppressive environment where individuals are stripped of dignity and privacy. The implication that homeless people must be monitored so intrusively perpetuates harmful stereotypes, reducing them to objects of suspicion rather than human beings deserving of support and respect. This Orwellian approach undermines the purpose of such accommodations: to provide a safe, supportive space for individuals at their most vulnerable. Instead, the invasive surveillance fosters mistrust and humiliation, leaving residents feeling more marginalized than ever. The council must urgently review this arrangement. A thorough investigation into the costs and conditions is needed, alongside meaningful consultation with the individuals directly impacted. Public funds should be directed toward solutions that prioritize dignity, privacy, and genuine rehabilitation—not profit-driven schemes that treat homelessness as an opportunity for exploitation.

Ordered a delivery at 6:10pm. First part arrived at 7:45pm. They forgot a pizza. The pizza finally arrived at 8:50pm.

Food was an hour late. Person on the phone said it was because "food is cheap, driver is slow and I live far away" it's 7 minutes by car... rude, food was mediocre and expensive I wouldn't recommend

Absolute shocking service. Spent 70 pound then missed my daughters korma. Told me I sounded drunk and wanted to charge me 7 pound for missing food they missed. Tried playing the racist card when I challenged . Haha what joke having to do my daughter some other food now wow!!!!

Ordered online, then got a notification to say they cancelled order for no reason, so me and kids deciding what to have as a treat for then the delivery driver to arrive with the food at the door kids happy they have what they originally wanted , I said I thought it was cancelled so he went back to his car to see what was going on then nothing so I rang them to see are we actually getting the food we wanted as he drive brought it to the door and the kids saw it for then to say there mistake it was cancelled they didn’t mean to and then said the driver has brought the food back and nothing they can do, talk about dangling right in the kids faces and taking it away again. Not happy poor customer service will not use again

No sunday roast, metal chairs and no atmosphere . No longer a traditional garden centre but a place fukk of everything

This is the best ever costa coffee. Its so warm and welcome inside the staff are great. Always a very very good vibe. Its a friendly enviroment with regulairs and workers from all over the town dinning in and taking away. I want to thank. Hazel milly and the team for always being so nice and lovely people and making such good quality drinks.

Great food spoiled by a lady serving that were absolutely disgusting and disrespectful never again, when ordering it asks for a name then they call it out by number. Then when asked your shown up in front of other customers with a disrespectful attitude

Good food, friendly staff and friendly locals. Great small town atmosphere. Met our expectations for take-away Chinese.

Very disappointing, batter was soggy, fish was tough, chips were just about warm but were stodgy, expensive for what we received. Called to tell of our concerns which was not worth the call as young girl really didn’t care definitely would not recommend or return

Great Food & Service!!Visited one afternoon, was quiet but i was served really quickly by friendly staff who chatted to me while making my sub. Place clean and tidy. Last time I visited here over a year ago was not very clean and rude staff. This branch has maybe got a new franchise owner as was very impressed at how much better it was compared to last time!!! Well done to Subway Spaldwick!

Pizza was dry and had obviously been sitting there a long time. Tried to give us a meat pasty when we’d asked for vegan! Luckily we noticed. These small details put customers off hence why feeding back

Order coffee and a roll so simple for a coffee shop you would have thought ,I ordered a flat white a basic coffee stood up for about 15 minutes waiting (just what you want when you’re disabled and struggling to stand) they asked was mine the 2 with coconut milk i said no they said they would bring me sauce and roll over after waiting a few minutes i went and got the sauce myself still waiting for my coffee they said that they would bring over they made me a different coffee and left it on the side to go cold so wait for another the other 3 people had eaten there food nearly drunk there drinks I was the 2nd one to go up really poor and it wasn’t that busy staff were wandering around with food asking people if it was there’s you were given a number guess they give you them but don’t use them? 1 person said if you need help ask could they not see that they didn’t have a clue what they were doing? Overpriced food poor to non-existent customer service

Nice food and attentive service, very pleasant. Also a fun bar there if you fancy a few tequilas (I didn't!)

Llevé a mi tía mayor allí para cenar porque creía que era elegante. El servicio era pésimo, nos despreciaban la comida horrible y extremadamente caro y el rudo camarero cuando me pedí un menú vegetariana. No vale la pena una visita. Puede conseguir un mejor servicio en McDonald's pero bueno este hotel es propiedad de McDonald's aparentemente.
