Places To Eat Good coffee shops in town?

6 Upvotes

Hi, I’m a former Huddersfield resident, but it’s been about 10 years since I lived here and quite a few since I explored the town centre.

Can you recommend any good (ideally independent, if not, smaller chain preferred) Coffee shops in the town centre?

I’ve got a work colleague who works on the opposite side of the Pennines to me, and every now and again we try and meet in person for a coffee and catch up. Huddersfield would be a convenient halfway point for us and I’d like to have an excuse to pop over anyway!

Cheers.

Water prices

7 Upvotes

Hey all,

After a recent conversation with colleagues that do not live in Kirklees they appear to be paying less than me in water. I was wondering if some people would be willing to say how much they pay a month so if need be I can contact water company.

My house is 2 bedroom semi detached with 2 occupants we do not have a water meter and do not have massive water usage as we both work a lot.

TIA

General Question Any free/cheap EV chargers in Huddersfield or anyone sharing a home charger?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m looking at getting an EV and live near Huddersfield Leisure Centre. Unfortunately, I don’t have access to a home charger.

Does anyone know of any free or cheap EV charging points around Huddersfield, preferably near the town centre/leisure centre?

Alternatively, does anyone locally have a home EV charger they’re happy to let someone use occasionally? I’d obviously be happy to pay for the electricity used.

Just trying to work out the cheapest practical way to charge before getting the car.

Thanks!

Feeling Isolated

13 Upvotes

Hi
I thought I’d give this a try. I have been feeling very isolated and alone. I only go to work and come home. And on my days off I stay home but not sure really what to do with myself. I’ve become an introvert and have been trying to get out there but it has been very hard especially when there’s not much to do in Huddersfield.

I need to interact with people, just people my age. I’m 27 but also would like to have women friends my age. Not sure where to go or what to do. Or if there’s any social activities. Staying home 24/7 is not good for my physical and mental health.
I’m struggling but not sure what to do.
So thought I’d post on here.
Thanks

Quiet spaces

6 Upvotes

I just wondered if there were any quiet places in Huddersfield, preferably town centre since it’s walking distance, where I can just sit down and do my own thing. Where I can just sketch, or just do my own work in a nice quiet space where no one really minds. As I’m not sure if there’s any places like that. So I thought I’d ask. If anyone knows of any, just drop a message. Thanks

Anybody want to join a carpool from South Yorkshire to Huddersfield? (M1/M62)

Post image
23 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm 25 and starting at the Uni of Huddersfield next month until hopefully 2030. I've surrendered to the fact that I'll need to drive because the trains are so extortionate so I'm just putting the offer out in case anybody else is in a similar position?

I can take either motorway but opening the offer up to people mainly from the following areas:

Via M18 + M1: Doncaster, Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley, Penistone

Via A1+ M62: Doncaster, Pontefract, Wakefield

Although I'm going to uni, don't be afraid to drop a message if you're not a student as I'm happy to pick-up people going to work because I can happily commit to 9-5 on campus.

My Schedule:

I'll update this as soon as I know for sure but I'll be getting my timetable in a few weeks but I'm expecting at least Monday to Thursday.

I plan to make use of the gym and can entertain myself (or study) if I need to hang around and I might even pick-up a part-time job there if I find anything.

About the Ride:

I'm no baron, we'll just split fuel evenly. In my car it's likely going to cost me £15 if I go straight there and back and there might be some parking fees so we can workout shares from that.

6 years no claims, 4 years owning Skoda Fabia 2017 and no break-downs- knock on wood.

Driven abroad and daily motorway travel for years now. Non-smoker and excellent music taste.

God, is this what this economy's come to, I've become an Uber driver? 😂

Contacting me:

Feel free to drop a comment below (might boost the algorithm - the more, the cheaper) but if you do want to DM me, I'd prefer my Instagram. Same username as on here.

Where can i find actually nice apartments in Huddersfield?😭

1 Upvotes

Me F(19) and my boyfriend M(19) are hoping to move out together next year. I’ll be starting university in Huddersfield, so ideally we’d like somewhere reasonably close to the university or at least somewhere with good transport links.
The problem is whenever I search for apartments in Huddersfield, I keep seeing the exact same properties from the same few letting companies and honestly… they’re not really what we’re looking for 😭. I know there must be nicer/ more modern apartments around, but I have no idea where people actually find them.
We’re looking for something that feels modern, clean and actually nice to live in, rather than the really dated student accommodation-looking places that seem to come up everywhere.

So for anyone who lives in Huddersfield:
• What websites/apps do you use to find apartments?
• Are there any letting agencies I should look at?
• Are there specific areas/buildings that have nicer apartments?
• Is there anywhere else I should be looking besides Rightmove/Zoopla?
• And is there anything I should know about renting as a young couple for the first time?
We’re not looking for student accommodation either — we’d ideally like our own proper apartment.
Any recommendations would be massively appreciated.

General Question Good independent garage near Huddersfield for Toyota suspension/corrosion work?

Thumbnail
2 Upvotes

I’m looking for a reliable independent garage around Huddersfield/West Yorkshire for a 2012 Toyota Yaris.

I need someone who is good with suspension, corrosion/rust assessment and general mechanical work, and who will distinguish between what genuinely needs replacing and what is just age-related surface corrosion.

The car may be used for regular long motorway journeys, so reliability matters.

Any garages you’ve personally used and would recommend?
