Need help

Hello,

I’m currently in Bolton and I’m having a very hard time finding a hire/rental car. I’m 24 years old and I’ve called multiple hire companies, pretty much all of them have a minimum age requirement of 25. I’ve also used comparison websites, but the only few options I’ve found are a bit far away in Manchester, which is not ideal for me. I found enterprise car club but no cars available but it is a little bit upsetting that there is a age requirement of 25

If you have any advice or know of any hire companies in nearby towns (not city) that offer cars to under-25s, I would greatly appreciate it. Any help would be fantastic

Much appreciated

Roofers that can do chimney inspection?

As above, really.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a roofer who can inspect and repair my chimney?

Any acting classes around?

I'm 26 and looking to branch out my hobbies. Never done acting or anything before. Would be cool to do little advert roles. Singing lessons would be good too, though I can sing already. Does anyone know of anything like that around Warrington?

Wolverhampton taxis

Hi guys, I've noticed over the past few months that I'm seeing more and more taxis with the "city of Wolverhampton council" plates on instead of the "Warrington borough council" plates.

Just wondering if this is something other people have noticed. Makes me wonder why they are running different plates.

Work placements

I am a 16 year old student in college and I’m currently doing an engineering course. As part of the course I’m required to do 35 hours of work in a work environment to gain work experience within a field of engineering. I’ve been struggling to find any and I was hoping someone could help

Hairdressers sought

Would anyone be able to recommend a salon which offers vivid hair colouring? Looking for a halo (I think) - I’m after natural hair on top and colour underneath. Hair is about shoulder blade length, dark/golden blonde naturally, fairly easy to work with (has been permed and had vivids in the past, at separate times of course!) An idea of costs would be appreciated but I know it’s very variable!!

Happy to travel a bit.

People and places?

I’ve been stuck in a rut for a while and wanted to get myself out of it for a while, I’m making great progress as I now have a job and a steady wage, so I am improving things, so next it’s to get out to new places and try to meet new people, does anybody have any suggestions on anywhere? :)

Which Livewire Hub has the best gym?

I recently started going to the gym at Orford Jubilee, but I think the gym there is too small and find myself waiting for equipment and benches to free up. I haven't been to any of the other gyms yet, so that's why I'm asking which one do you all think is the best?

Cheers

Need last minute Halloween event ideas predominantly in the Warrington area!

Me and my boyfriend have planned spooky world, but then found out last minute that we can’t wear our 300 pound costumes and makeup to the place. So we’re binning off the tickets but I cannot for the life of me find a good adult Halloween party for today, it needs to be today because I’m in work the rest of the week. If anyone can help me I would be over the moon, thank you

Changes to bus services from Warrington to Lymm and Altrincham (CAT5 and X5)

Hi. As the title say. I just wonder how many people will be affected by this change (extra ticket?). I thought they want more people using public transport, not less.

Every week for one year I hear music coming from the stadium…

What is this music? seems to be every weekday morning between 9 and 11am. It sounds like typical football-tv music. I don’t know how else to describe it. Anyone know why it happens? Its origins?

Good eateries that serve alcohol in and around Warrington?

I'm (35m) thinking of taking a date (35f) out for a meal in a couple of weeks (when we're next both off at the same time), and was thinking of going somewhere a bit more upmarket for a meal (possibly having a drink while we're at it). The plan in my head is to meet up, go for a meal, and get a taxi or an uber home (so we can both have a drink). Can anyone suggest any good places that can be booked in advance thst aren't bargain bucket cheap but aren't a complete ripoff? TIA

Antrobus street

Hi, I’m looking into my family history and my great grandfather was living in a caravan on this street, according to a newspaper article. This would have been back in 1930. It doesn’t look like it exists though.. has anybody heard of it? Thanks

Gunshots near Fearnhead?

I've been hearing it every few mornings the past few weeks, it sounds like it's coming from around the Crab Lane playing fields

It's definitely not fireworks but I can't say it's definitely gunshots either.

Anyone know is there firing range opened up there recently or something?

Anyone playing Pikmin Bloom near Old Hall?

Hello there,

I moved to the area a few weeks ago and I'm playing Pikmin Bloom to get myself to go on walks more but that would be even fun if I didn't have to do that alone.

Does anyone here wanna go on Pikmin walks together? I discovered the Sankey Brook a while ago and thought that might be a nice spot.

If anyone is interested, drop a comment or a pm and we can work out details =) I'm excited to meet local people!
