What to do when kids cause trouble in the area that you live in.

Our go to chippy was Mr Pats in town near where Riley's used to be but it's now closed...looking for a replacement.

The place opposite Tesco on Eastmoor always smells nice but i've ever been in.

Fish & Chip recommendations?

Hi everyone,

Has anyone had a free bulky waste collection from the council?

I see that they charge but occasionally they offer free collections, so it would be good to know when this happens each year!

Thanks

The old units are clearly going to be another takeaway, but Bear Kitchen signage has gone up nextdoor

Which chippies in Wakefield offer "fruity" curry sauce? Our usuals (Kingfisher/Outwood Whaler) do the chip shop style (which is great, but craving the fruity one!)

Does anyone know the phone number for the management company who owns the Pinnacle block of flats on Ings Road (opposite the retail park)

Been trying to get a confirmed service charge from them for weeks now through the estate agents and now i just want to try and call them myself

Can anyone recommend an affordable hairdresser near the city centre please? I just need my fringe fixing without spending a ton xx

Hopefully this year it will go ahead!

Is there any decent therapists in the wakefield area looked online and seems like there are a few but unsure on reviews etc of them don't want to be forking out £50-70 and turns out they are not that good anyway

I'm aware it's different for everyone but any general idea or thoughts would be appreciated

Thanks

Just seen that the Sea Urchin chippy in Ossett is saying it is under new management. Has anyone tried it recently?

I live in an area where consistent 30/40 mph driving is impossible due to traffic and different road speeds and need to get the issue sorted. I read somewhere that I need to drive consistently for 20 minutes at 30/40mph to clear the dashboard message. I typically do very short trips daily for errands and shopping.

Update: Thank you, everyone, for your suggestions to go on the motorway. I ran some errands some hours ago, and while on my way home, I saw that the message had changed to the "exhaust filter cleaning" message so I just floored it to the nearest 40mph road and drove up and down it a couple of times and it cleared up. I didn't want to lose the momentum by going back home and starting another trip to get on the motorway. It was cleared in about 15 minutes.

I am in my mid 30s and seeking out some places to let my hair down. I have not been ‘out out’ since about 2011 😂 I am looking for somewhere to enjoy a drink and awesome music. I am into rock and indie. Definitely nothing modern.. are there any places I can just chill?

I found a 3-bedroom house at a cheap price in Castleford, and my wife and I currently live in a two-bedroom apartment in Bolton. We are looking to move closer to the city of York since my wife started studying at the University of York this year. The most important question now is, is Castleford safe or not? The house seems to be in a quiet neighborhood, but I’ve heard a lot of negative things about the area and the town in general. Help me make the right decision.

Any recommendations for bars with a chilled vibe and good food on a Sunday?

Anyone know of any good car boot sales in Wakefield or anywhere nearby? Google hasn’t been very helpful unfortunately.

Thanks in advance!

Needing to find a driving instructor asap, everyone I've spoken to has a waiting list of 3-4 months. Any recommendation is welcome.

Thanks

Hello,

I'm new to Wakefield, if anyone fancys going on a pub crawl, let me know!

I've got a sudden craving to dine out and enjoy a pie this evening, ideally somewhere similar to Salt in Boston Spa.

Is there anywhere nice locally? Vegetarians will need to be catered for.

With autumn upon us what are you plans for this weekend?

I guess, I'll start preping the "garden" for winter. I think it's a time to get winter tyres on too, isn't it?

Does anyone know what's going on with the commercial shopping part of City Fields, it's been abandoned for quite a while now and can't see anything online mentioning it?

Are there any mysteries in our Merrie city?
Any paranormal or historical tidbits that would be interesting rabbit holes to dive down?

I'm looking for something to really get into.
All ideas and suggestions would be much, much appreciated.

Thanks.

Moved here a few weeks ago & hadn't heard anything. But last night & tonight after 10.30pm we're hearing 2-3 planes close together & it's SO LOUD.

Is this a random occurance or is there a flight path here (yes, tried googling not go the answer)

So me and my mate are going the college at wakey but jw is there a good but cheap place to eat? Don't really go into wakefield much so no ideas and don't wanna live off maccies 🤣

Any recommendations on a good Chinese takeaway please?

Edit: Thank you all for your recommendations🫶🏾 went for Taste of China this time, hopefully it is good 😊 will be exploring the other options at another time.

Does anyone know what happened to Munshis? Noticed it’s been closed recently and on google it says permanently closed. Was my favourite fish and chips in Wakefield 😓😓

Ok so I haven't been into this account since I made my prev post. I came on today and a few people had messaged asking for an update, I figured I would just update the whole sub as one since its easier for me. I got to admit its been rough, a very humbling and traumatic few weeks.

To summarise my prev post, I thought I was engaged to a guy who was acting off, and I figured he was messing around on me, and what followed can only be described as a wrecking ball.

So through the power of reddit, I found out for the two plus years we were together he was actually already engaged, and had been for like 12 years or more. THAT was not what I was expecting for sure. On top of that he had been on and off with another woman for four or five years who he told he worked abroad. Then there was someone else who he had been sort of long term on and off with for the last 20 plus years. As well as three people I believe he had one night stands with whilst he and I were supposedly together.

Safe to say I feel like a complete and utter idiot. I feel so bad for his partner of 12 years, I feel so bad for anyone else he has fooled with his "Mr charm" personality and his gaslighting and emotional manipulations. I feel as though i accidentally opened a huge can of worms just trying to figure out what was going on in MY relationship.

So thats your update folks

My partners phone recently broke and I was wondering if anybody recommends any good phone repair service in town.

We've tried Phone Geeks near Trinity Walk a couple of times for a screen repair and both times had issues come with the repair, does anybody recommend anywhere better?
