Looking for Small area of land to rent

Hi I’m a male 46 and a working professional in the engineering industry

I am thinking about Buying a Caravan to Live in for a few months ……basically to cut down on Costs of rent I’m currently paying for an apartment.

My problem is that I don’t have anywhere that I could park it and live in it that is off the public highway. So I’m looking for anyone who may have a small parcel of land that they would be willing to rent to me where I could do this?

Thinking maybe in the corner of a field or any area of private land.

Caravan would be only a 4 berth type so not to big …..so only small area required

I would be willing to pay up to £200 a month in rent for a small /reasonably quiet/private and safe area where I could park and set up a caravan that I can live in.

I work every weekday from early morning to late afternoon…..so would only be in the caravan weekday evenings/nights to rest and sleep and weekends I also have my own small car.

So if anyone has anything that may be suitable or knows who might have …..please drop me a message to discuss things

Many thanks

Does Huddersfield have a public library?

I will be moving to Huddersfield for 6 months to live with family while I finish a huge project. Does Huddersfield have a public library ideally with computers free to use that will be quiet enough for me to do research and work in for 5-6 hours twice a week?

Car needed for my driving test in Huddersfield

Hi, I got my driving test coming up. This is my second attempt and I didn't want to take extra lessons. But the thing is no instructor is okay with renting the car for just the test, they want me to take lessons with them. Is there anyway I can get around this ? Anyone know who will be able to help me with this, really appreciate it your help

Edit : Thanks for all your replies :) Arnold Clark looks promising

Calling all Huddersfield punks, musicians and artists.

Hey!

My name is Jimmy and I’m on a mission. Long story short, I’m 43 and a divorced dad not doing very well.

Being of the old school, pre internet punk variety I’ve decided that what’s missing in my life is being part of a project. So I’m looking to start a legit dad band with the aim of providing something for us 30/40/50 something dudes out here that need it. Expressing you’re self as a middle aged bloke can Be tough so I want to help make it easier and a bit of song writing, jamming and stuff helped me 25 years ago so why not now ?

Musically speaking I’m a third rate rhythm guitarist that can play Hot Water Music’s back catalogue if you don’t count the tricky parts…and I could probably sing the odd Discharge song so anyone is welcome, especially if you have talent!

So if you’re interested in the whole DIY punk culture of the 90s and want in at the ground level or just want to hang out it’s all good. Or if you know someone that might be able to help out with rehearsal spaces, cheap 2nd hand gear or what not, please pass the word on.

Much love and remember, never trust a fuckin’ hippy 😉

Went into hussersfield for the first time in a while....

Surprisingly the town centre was busy, there didn't seem to be too many shut down shops and in general it was a pleasant experience except for the drunk (probably) scruffy (definately) and thoroughly reprehensible bloke I witnessed spitting at a taxi driver outside McDonald's.

Product Photography Needed

I’m looking for a photographer to assist with professional product shots or renders for a supplement brand I’m working on. Here’s the style I’m aiming for. Purolabs.com I think I should have 35 products but still confirming.

If you’re a photographer or can recommend someone, please comment below or send me a message. We can agree on pricing beforehand, and I’m happy to pay a deposit. If you have design experience, that would be a bonus as I’m looking to refresh my branding as well.

It would be great if you could include some quotes. I’m happy to go over project details. This is my first project, so while my budget isn’t huge, I’m looking for my go to photographer and hoping to build a long term relationship and will do my best to make sure you’re happy.

Going for a walk through greenhead park when it's pitch dark?

I always see it pitch dark but I've always wondered if it's actually safe to walk through, is there any lighting or anything at all?

Good places to eat that are open around 11am?

Been meeting someone weekly for breakfast and usually go to a cafe for a full English fry up. Was wondering if there are any other places to eat something different than the typical cafe fare?

Console / gaming repair shops

My son got overly excited playing xbox and knocked his headset off his head and they fell on the floor (I also don't think its the first time theyve been dropped!) Externally they look fine but the buttons are jammed and the headset now won't turn on. Anyone know any places within the area that would look at/repair the headset? It's a Razer Kaira Pro wireless headset, if that makes any difference. Thanks in advance.

Free parking in Huddersfield

Can anyone advise whether there is any free street or otherwise parking in Huddersfield that is walkable to the town centre?

I’m currently studying an Access course at Kirklees College and whilst I am waiting to start a part time job, among childcare and bills I am struggling financially and not having to pay for parking would take the stress off wondering if I can afford to get to college this week! I’ve checked bus fares etc and it only works out ever so slightly cheaper than if I drive and pay to park and the timings are awkward for my daughter’s nursery booking.

If anyone can advise I’d be grateful. Happy to walk up to 25 mins or so.

Greetings!

I have tickets for phonics on 14/06/25.

Naturally, every hotel is booked up in town within microseconds…

Can anyone recommend an alternative place to stay thats quite close? Ideally walking distance… but if not- i did see halifax which is 20 min car journey but im worried about getting a taxi after the gig as everyone will want to do the same thing with uber surge pricing being fantastic!

Thanks!

Peugeot specialists in Huddersfield area?

Hi folks

Does anyone know of any Peugeot specialists in the Huddersfield area? A place that has dealer diagnostic tools and can tell us why our dashboard shows intermittent engine fault warning.
