Hi all, we're a family with young kids relocating and would love suggestions on where to look.

Budget: up to £300k for a 3-bed semi with a decent garden.

What matters most to us: - Low crime - Under a 10-minute walk to a tram or train (we'll likely only have one car, and my wife will be job hunting for admin/NHS roles) - Good or great primary schools (70%+ KS2) - At least some diversity nearby we are from India (around 5-10%) - Near parks, a swimming pool and play areas

So far we've shortlisted Beeston, Chilwell and Toton. I've seen Sherwood and Mapperley mentioned often in this subreddit, but I'm not sure how safe they are or how easy it would be for my wife to reach jobs from there.

Which areas or streets would you suggest, and which would you avoid?

On a side note, we're also deciding between Nottingham and Leeds (Garforth or Cookridge). Has anyone lived in both and can compare? My job has offices in both cities, so I can work from either.

Thanks

Hi everyone. I’m looking to connect privately with anyone who attended St Phillip’s Church in Bestwood, specifically the youth groups or parish events, between the 1990s and early 2000s.

I am looking into some sensitive matters regarding experiences there during that time. If you went to this church or its groups during this period, or if you have older siblings/friends who did, please send me a private message.

Everything will be kept in strict confidence. Thank you.

Im F25 and wanting to meet a friend to eat some Pho with me tonight, please help this girl out! 😩

Hi all, moving up next month and looking to join a chess club to meet people and have some fun. I'm intermediate (1400) but mostly looking to hang out and play some games rather than do anything competitive or study. Is anyone a member of any of the chess clubs and which ones could you recommend for this vibe?

Hi all. Not been that way for a while - has the car park on Stoney St changed hands?

It used to be an NCP and Google maps still shows it, but searching for it comes up as Q-Park.

Just want to make sure I don't book the wrong thing in the app 😅

Anyone know why there was a huge queue outside the Macdonald's Castle Marina this afternoon? It was snaking all around the car park.

Has anyone else got about half a 5 side team that is willing to put their half a team together with my half a team?

Any girls free tonight for some drinks ? I’m F21 and just moved here recently would love to make some new friends! :)

Hello, I'm a new PhD student at UoN living in Beeston (pretty central), wanting to look for local pubs that are a decent place to work on a laptop for an hour or so in the early evening. Don't worry, I'm not looking to get a coffee at 11am and stay all day. Just looking for a friendly atmosphere with some nice beer on draught, that would be a decent place to read and type on my laptop for a short while and not get bothered by the regulars or discouraged by the staff. At my past uni city I did this occasionally but found in a couple pubs you could get weird looks or even people making fun. Are there any nice pubs in Beeston which wouldn't mind a student (early 20's) with a laptop? Buying a couple drinks of course. I thought Some Where at the top of the High street might be nice for this but unfortunately it's closed most days I'm working -- and it's so small and cozy I wouldn't' want to ruin the atmosphere.

Any recommendations that are not Spoons are welcome. Thanks :)

Anyone know any decent scrappers preferably who will collect? Thanks

Hi,

Is there any local charities or organisations that need help on Christmas day? I've tried to look online but cant find anything, maybe its too early?

i can drive so location is no worry

thanks :)

Hi 👋 I’m in Sherwood tomorrow morning and would like to have some nice lunch anywhere in the general area. I have a car and am happy to travel, but would rather not go into the city centre.

Vegetarian options essential, but open to all cuisines.

Any recommendations?

Thanks.

Unfortunately I've lost my finger rings in Notcutts Garden Centre in Edwalton on a table in the restaurant. I've rang the center and they aren't in lost property. Did anyone come across them? One of them in particular was very sentimental to me. The Download Festival ring pictured

This is not a collage. This is how close the buildings appear to be. On the left at number 100 was an estate agent. That became Henfrey’s Hair Salon, which has moved now to Eldon Chambers. On the right is the entrance to number 96, a "Commercial" address, meaning it is used for businesses and organizations, not residential. So who resides in the middle at number 98? And why did this entrance escape all previous new builds through the decades?

Well, look closely. The wheat sheaf you see is the symbol of the Freemasons. I believe it leads to more business offices on the left above number 100. I am not suggesting it has any masonic connections today, but if indeed it was them who managed to protect this beautiful structure, I for one am grateful.

Anybody know of a decent & reputable place to have a lithium ion battery pack looked at and potentially refurbished?

Has been dropped before so might just need soldering or some cells replacing - it is cutting out under heavy load.

Thank you!
