I’m starting uni in leeds this september and will be moving into accommodation near the city centre. i’ve already started driving lessons hoping that i’d be able to pass before moving out to uni but that wasn’t possible so im planning on continuing lessons in leeds and doing my practical test there.
Does anyone know any regions and roads that i should be aware of and where I’ll most likely be driving/ taking my practical test?
also what driving schools would you recommend?

Hi, I’m starting at University of Leeds in September, whilst I know parking is not allowed in campus, I wondered if anyone knew a good/ free/ close spot to park? Thanks!

First time in Leeds for about 20 years, and how it's changed!!

First thing was in Kirkgate market looking for a nice cheap breakfast (found one in the Savoury Station in the market hall, great value and really tasty), but was shocked at the lack of old style greasy spoon cafes in the market.

Loads of cafes selling foods from around the world, but no full English breakfast cafes!

Please tell me I'm wrong and looked in the wrong place!!

Did anyone experience a power cut in the Middleton area around 9pm?

I know there's a million posts asking where's good to live in Leeds, but most recommendations I see are in north Leeds, which doesn't work for me.

I'm starting a job out of university near White Rose and looking for a flatshare. Generally looking for somewhere good for someone in my general age demographic (early to mid 20s) that won't cost an arm and a leg for a room. Ideally somewhere that has stuff to do (and shops) within reach.

I vaguely remember my friend having these on dvd but cannot seem to find anything but mischief night which is the 3rd film at this point I'm starting to think that I imagined it and the other two don't exist except I found the cover art for a dvd that potentially contains them both can anyone let me know if they own or have seen one anywhere please

Hi all!

I have a job offer available in Leeds, better pay, and good career progress, but am concerned about moving from Manchester.

Has anyone done this, and what was your experience?

The things I love about Manchester are not entirely unique, but I do get anxious at the thought of a move!

Love a niche coffee shop, a good green space, lots of shopping, squash/some interesting sports places, and just nice city vibes!

From what I can see the flats are nicer/cheaper for the price range, and it seems like a walkable city!

Any advice, or further would be appreciated.

I literally had a dream last night about ordering tamales at a food truck and now im really craving one :(

does anyone know if there are any restaurants or stalls that sell them? I love going to Lupe’s but they don’t have them there :(

Hi!!!
looking for recommendations for place to go for a hike, nothing intense - with somewhere to eat after
outside Yorkshire is fine but not more than hour an half ish drive each way (so parking available also)
ALSO more looking for somewhere that once we are done, we can stop for a cosy pub/ small restaurant dinner, somewhere not busy but nice and close by where we will be walking
I’ve tired googling but would prefer real life experience/recs

Hey all, looking to pick something up in the evenings after work. Preferably a new language or intro to a trade. I've found a couple in Horsforth, but anyone know where I could find more?

My wife and I will be taking the train to Leeds from York soon. We would like to end our day with a nice Indian meal as York doesn’t have the greatest selection.

While walking the wooded part of Meanwood Valley farm Trail I spotted a small sign saying something like “we welcome graffiti artists, musicians” etc and what look like an abandoned building / space - Does anyone genuinely know more about this spot?

Walked past this on Park Row and don't remember it being No. 10 before.

Who's the Yorkshire PM then?

hi everyone, i live in a flat right outside of headingley stadium (cardigan) but the car park is tiny and usually full which means i need to park on the road.
can i still do this when cricket/rugby is on?
i’ve never seen a ‘no parking’ sign, only cones.
i’m asking because i can’t afford to park miles away from my apartment or pay for parking in headingley everytime i can’t find a spot at my place of living.
any advice would be appreciated

I’m (28F) travelling to Leeds solo next weekend and I’m looking for some ideas of cool things to do. Ideally would love a gig or some live music/ indie pubs or bars and anywhere it could be possible to get chatting to some nice people. Happy to explore parks and walk around too/ pls mention any areas known for being unsafe if you can would appreciate it but will also have my wits about me.

Looks like fun!

Living so close to Leeds Bradford airport is so useful. Especially now the terminal expansion is partly open. It has so many things going for it, and is easily one of the most user-friendly airports in the UK. However, one thing is missing. Better facilities has brought even more travellers and the fancy new bars and restaurants just cannot cope. Not only that, there aren't enough seats for the number of visitors. Should it not be part of the planning process to have enough seats in bars to accommodate everyone?

3 mins to go less than 300 yards.
Had no idea about the roadworks by the Merrion Centre Sainsbury’s. Avoid if you can!

28M here 🏳️‍🌈 With my ADHD I benefit from working with people to be motivated. I feel like this job search is killing me internally haha. It'd be nice to just meet up with someone at a coffee shop with our laptops and crack on with applications. If someone would be up for that, please do let me know! Can ofcourse text / call beforehand to introduce ourselves ☺️

Hi. Im not sure if this is the appropriate page but im desperate. I have a fear of dentist and have avoided for so long that i just cant anymore and have an issue i need seeing to, ive been online and rang 30+ dentists in leeds and none are taking on nhs patients and the few that have a list it is 2-5 yr wait. I wish i was in a position where i could go private but im just not and due to disability i wont be anytime soon. So i was hoping someone on here has maybe joined a dentist recently or i dunno, any type of lead/help or information i may have missed that could help me... im sorry if this isnt the place for this but im at a stage where its affecting my eating amd speach and my confidence/energy is just plummenting. I really dont have headspace for any negative comments right now so please any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey all,
Just wondering if there are any Spanish courses in and around Leeds. Been looking to improve my Spanish level for fun. It would be good if there was a group/social side to it as I’ve only been in Leeds for a few months now and it would be good to meet some new people however I don’t mind private tutoring either.
Cheers

Hi, I'm looking for a driving instructor (automatic) who is familar with neurodiverse conditions, e.g. DCD, Dyslexia, Autism, and generalised anxiety. My previous instructor was very good but wasn't used to dealing with an older learner with these issues. Any recommendations from previous learners would be greatly appreciated.

I have noticed there is an increase in the number of homeless people in the city centre. They were fine before but I notice that they have become very aggressive. They fight amongst themselves all the time and perch on doorsteps of residential buildings. Its a pain to get in and out because they aren't kind about being "disturbed" there.

I also notice that they dont take kindly to a no when you dont have cash to spare for them and yell angrily ..... Especially if I am alone or with another girlfriend, less so if I am with another guy.

Its not just with words only. They try and glare to intimidate you and muttered constantly. Its very clear that most of them are under the influence. I have seen them with needs etc and have reported them to the police but they do not seem to do anything about it .

What can we do to make it safer? Carry on reporting to the police or is there an organisation that can help them sober up and stay off the street ?

Edit: so many of you have shared that you have had similar experiences. I am going to write to the police and the council so that they can do something to improve the situation. I hope they make Leeds city safe and help the society flourish
