  Here's a round up of Marlborough pubs and where's best for what... Best for food If you aren't specifically looking for cheap eats the food at The Lamb, The Sun and The Crown is really good at the moment. All three were recommended to me and all three lived up to their recommendations, so this is not just my personal opinion. Each of the pubs has very friendly, helpful staff. The Lamb and The Sun in particular are ultra cosy in the...

  Last month was the coldest December across the UK since records began in 1910 according to Met Office figures issued yesterday.

It was also the coldest month since February 1986. Although it was very cold and snowy it was also...

"George" and "The Grey Lady" As a little girl my mum, along with my granddad, went to stay with my great aunt while my grandmother was in hospital. My great aunt lived in the flat above what is now Dress Couture between...

  Due to horrific recent events & indeed past criminal activity it has caused me to rethink my idealistic views of Marlborough & I want to put it to the council to insert CCTV cameras in ALL public areas esp our hightstreet & the new skate park. These cameras I believe are desperatlely needed & they would help the police catch any criminal activity & indeed help us residents feel safer in our own town.  Please...

  When I heard through a mutual acquaintance about local resident Wendy Sawyer's time working as a volunteer in India I asked if she would be willing to share her experiences and photos with Marlborough People. Luckily she said yes. What follows is a brief account of her trip in her own words. After retiring from my work as a health visitor in Swindon, I achieved a lifetime ambition to work as a volunteer in India in October 2008....
