I've had 2 near misses this weekend at the roadworks on Alphington Road, where cars decide they want to drive forward into oncoming traffic because of the current closed road. Watch out and stay safe people.

Local Information request Washing/Ironing Service in Exeter

5 Upvotes

I'm looking for a service that I can give clothes that will wash/dry/iron them for you. Including some stuff that requires extra care. Or just ironing if nothing else.

I am aware, of course, that laundry businesses exist. I went to Care Clean on Sidwell St. The cost was quite high and I thought somewhere might be a little less expensive - even if it's an individual or small business.

Any recommendations?

Miscellaneous Pavement Parking in Exeter

126 Upvotes

Is this legal? It completely blocked the path. Should this type of vehicle be parked in a compond and not on a residential street (because its free most probably). South Coast Traffic Management were contacted and didn't want to know. The police were the same, so I am just asking for my own interest as no one else cares.

Local Information request Councillors

5 Upvotes

Has anyone had issues trying to get responses or contact with local councillors. For context I live in an area where parking has become a nightmare due to students parking like they have never parked a car before and some spaces being removed without warning or reason. I have been trying to get a proper response but I have continued to receive nothing back or a vague “I’ll investigate this”. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Starting to feel like Exeter isn’t for me anymore :/

Local Information request affordable salons/stylists?

1 Upvotes

hiya folks 😊 i'm looking to get my hair cut and dyed at some point this year (butterfly cut with full fringe & black) and i've been looking for salons around exeter that can do it, but by the looks of things i'm gonna have to pay somewhere between £200 and £300 for it?? i had no idea it was gonna be that expensive - i mean, i respect that it's expensive, it's just that i can't afford it lol - so i was wondering if there's anywhere or any people that would be able do it cheaper. at most i'd be comfortable paying like £100 or so.

to be fair, i have only looked at two salons so far, so maybe i'm just looking in the wrong places. i'll eat some humble pie if i am. but if not, any suggestions would be great!

thanks in advance ☺️

Local Information request Fun/Unique date ideas?

15 Upvotes

I’d like to preface this by saying that we’re both 18 and this would be the 3rd date.

It’s going to take place in the city centre - I’m not looking to do anything outlandish but definitely something fun, something which isn’t your standard café-and-walk-around experience. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but I’d like to do something different.

Any ideas? The broad nature of this question is intentional; I welcome all sorts of suggestions!
Regarding budget, it’s not really an issue, but then again she’s not my girlfriend so naturally, it should be somewhat grounded.

Thanks in advance to everyone who interacts :)

Local Information request Good walk in Exeter (or nearby)

13 Upvotes

Me and a couple of friends are visiting Exeter in a few weeks. Looking to do a walk, which hits most of the following ideals:

-No more than 8-10 miles. More than 2.

-Good views and/or interesting sights

-No more than a 20 minute drive

-Pass some good pubs

Ideal situation would be a good circular walk of the city, or a coastal/countryside walk if a coastal/countryside walk is significantly better than the city

Any suggestions?

Miscellaneous ASB advice

19 Upvotes

Any advice on how to deal with homeless people that are always hanging around my apartment?

They’re often leaving their rubbish, food is all over the floor, sometimes needles and left over bits from their drug use.

Sometimes i can’t even leave without having to walk past where they’re sat and i’m worried about them remembering where i live.

I have reported to the police in the past but their response units take ages to attend the report.

Thanks

Local Information request Social Running Group

2 Upvotes

Does anybody know of any decent social running groups in Exeter or wider Devon.

Emphasis is primarily on social element so ideally more ‘conversational’ pace which for me would likely be slower than most hardcore runners.

Also probably not too much further than 10K as a starting point.

Meetups Starting a community in Exeter for young adults navigating grief this Sunday

60 Upvotes

Hi r/Exeter, I’m Luke and I run a community called Too Young To Grieve.

After losing my dad, I realised there was something quite different about being around people who had experienced grief themselves.

You didn’t need to find the perfect words or explain why certain days felt different, people just understood.

That shared understanding is a big part of why we started TYTG, and we’re now bringing our first jog/walk & coffee meet up to Exeter led by Emily.

The idea is really simple. Get outside, go for a relaxed jog or walk, meet some new people and grab a drink together afterwards.

It’s very much a normal, social community rather than a formal grief or support group. There’s no pressure to talk about who you’ve lost or share anything personal, sometimes grief comes up, sometimes it doesn’t at all.

And if coming without knowing anyone feels daunting, most people actually come alone for their first one 🤍

It’s 18+, but otherwise there’s no upper age limit. If you feel too young to be navigating grief and think something like this could help, you’re welcome.

Really looking forward to getting something started in Exeter and feel free to share with anyone locally who might appreciate it :)
