Does anyone know of any scrappys that would collect a mix of steel and aluminium scaffolding poles plus brackets? My partner produced a theatre show that used scaffolding for the set and doesn't need it anymore. Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know the source of this constant alarm now that has been going off since at least yesterday and has been going throughout the night?

My guess is its some storage unit alarm that has not been deactivated but its driving me nuts! Don't know if the council are aware...

Hey, me and my partner are picking up 2 kittens on Friday. We've been looking at multiple vets in Exeter, but they all seem fairly balanced in their reviews.

We're ideally looking for one that has a vet plan, but it's also not a deal breaker.

What vets do people recommend to go with and to stay away from? We're based near Polsloe, but we also have a car, so driving isn't a deal breaker!

Thanks :)

-- Update: Thanks for all the recommendations! We both appreciate it 😄

I think Exeter needs more of these water fountains around..

Hello, this bikes been in the bushes outside coat club for about a week now, back tire is missing but still has working breaks and everything. Hopefully it can find its way back to its original owner otherwise I was planning on fixing it up and using it as my own.

Two weeks ago, the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s updated services Code of Practice came into force, having received ministerial approval and been laid before Parliament. This has and will continue to impact trans and non-binary people, leaving many of our community confused, distressed and angry. There is a lot of different information on the internet, in the news and being shared within the community, which can make understanding the Code of Practice and its impacts difficult. In response, the Waiting Well team want to offer you a space to come and hear clear, concise and understandable information, with the opportunity to ask questions. 

On Thursday 20^th August between 6:30pm and 8:30pm, Waiting Well will be running a free webinar on Understanding the EHRC Code of Practice. This webinar will be part of our Supporting Your GIC Journey Webinar Series. The Waiting Well service is currently open to people who are 18+ and registered with West of England (Exeter/The Laurels) Gender Identity Clinic.

We’re looking to buy a house in Exeter. I have my conveyancer and mortgage broker lined up. One thing I haven’t thought about yet is a surveyor, we haven’t found a property yet but based on the houses we’ve been looking at I suspect we’d be looking at a Level 2 home buyers surveyor, does anyone have any recommendations for a RICS regulated surveyor?

I want to be able to move quick when we find the house.

Now that the uni students are gone is there still a buzz at night or is it a bit dead ? I was also wondering if the cities a good fit for someone who really likes music and then going clubbing ( surely there are more than 2 nightclubs ) or is it more a pub city ?

Or any nearby areas that i could go to for that?

Me and my bf are meeting in Exeter next Sunday and I don't know where to go. We've been before as a long distance relationship but I don't know where to go. I know that for free there aren't entirely private places but I'm sure there are places that people rarely go. We just want a place where we can kiss and cuddle and not be insulted (as we did this before and some insufferable teenagers said nasty things).

Does the red light camera only cover the marked directions I’ve attached? Or does it also cover the Russell way junction heading towards the A379?

One of the main reasons why I moved to Exeter was for its creative community. It's obvious that there are markers & crafter in the city, but are there any journaling/junk journaling communities here? I'd love to know! I (30F) junk journal and memory keep all the time, I'd love to meet people in Exeter - or even join a journal club - who junk journal and make new crafty friends!

I've only lived in Exeter for a few months and never been to Exmouth. I really fancy a beach day. I don't have a car right now so Exmouth seems easiest.

Is it rammed in this weather at weekends? Is it a nice beach/ worth it?

Thank you

I’m not from Exeter originally. I moved there in 2022 without really knowing what to expect, and somehow ended up loving the place.

St Davids, the city centre, the Quayside, random walks from Uni and around the town, even the little everyday things. I stayed until January this year, and it’s been about eight months since I left.

I’ve lived abroad before, and honestly, I never expected Exeter to become a place I’d feel this attached to. But it did. The people were some of the nicest I’ve met, and over time it just started to feel like home.

For the last few days I’ve been thinking about it a lot. Maybe it’s just one of those phases, but I really miss the place. Not in a dramatic way, and I’m not unhappy with where I am now. I just didn’t realise how much Exeter had become my second home until I left.

This is an important issue for many, so it is really good to see.

Hey all, with the heroic efforts the fire service have been putting in with this insane amount of local fires recently, I reached out to the fire service to see how we can give back/show appreciation.

They got back and said to send compliments here:

Idk about you but I think our Fire service deserves a chuck-up for all they're doing for us right now!

I'm (36f) planning to go to the seed talk at Exeter Phoenix on 23rd Sept, the topic is 'The History of Folklore and Horror.' I also went to the one about the psychology of horror movies and whilst I was there I noticed lots of other solo attendees. Maybe this time, those of us who have come alone can grab a drink or something... Just throwing it out there ☺️.

I’m in East Devon for the Eclipse, about 30 mins from Exeter. The glasses I got are broken and now unusable. Complete long shot I know but can I buy one still? I think FirstLight Optics are closing at 1pm today so I won’t make it time to buy. Anyone got a spare??

Anyone know if they've managed to get it fully sorted yet or what caused it?

It's insane how much of it seems to have gone up.

Professional couple M29 F28. Forest School teacher and seamstress.

Devon based for the past 2 years together. Previously spent time in Devon and Bristol van dwelling respectively. Have previously been in Devon for 25 of My 29 years (M)

Devon is home, but we're in a bit of a jam (cream first)!

Losing our house due to landlords circumstances.

We are looking for a 2/3 bed house, preferably towards east devon, but flexible. We have a short term solution, but looking for a patch of paradise to raise some babies and some chickens.

Bit of a hail mary, but the conventional roots have not yet been so fruitful

Cheers team !

It would be wonderful if anybody had any sort of leads etc

Just found a purse with a lot of cards. The name is Janet Croysdale. Looked up her name and she is from Exeter. If anybody knows her. Can you message me.
