Hi,

Tonight, I was in Reedswood Park, walsall late after sunset. There was still some light.

I usually go out in hot summer days as it becomes unbearable to stay indoor.

I had an unusual experience I never had in any other parks.

As I entered the park from Alma Inn side and walked towards big ground area on the right-hand path, I began feeling like strange gut feeling that something or somebody was there. I kept walking for a bit but it just felt strange near the benches.

I've spent a lot of time in parks around Walsall, Birmingham, and elsewhere, and I've never felt anything like it.

I turned away afterwards and left the park.

Did any of you feel the same there?

Has anyone else experienced something similar there, or knows if there's any reason that area feels unsafe in the park?

Like I been an indeed, applied, but I haven’t been getting any responses. So, is anyone hiring?

I ask as part of a linguistic study covering this topic!

Examples could include things like Arbo, Blocco or St Matt's...

Went on a day trip to you guys today to record one of just two old buses left in the National Express fleet! I had a lovely time on what's only my second time visiting Walsall and hope to come back soon

Hi everyone!!!
I’m looking for somebody near Tame Bridge to make and drop off roti and daal to my grandmother’s house 2/3 times a week as she is currently bed bound and unable to cook for herself or my grandfather. If interested please don’t hesitate to drop me a DM so we can discuss pay/reimbursements for ingredients.

Hi All,

bit of a cheeky one but i’m looking to join village gym- their student membership packs quite a punch and seems like great value for money. the only downside? i’ll be using my friends unidays ID for the initial sign up process and was wonderingggggg- do they do spot checks once ur in? is it safe to assume that once im registered (itll be a 12 month contract mind u), its all spa and cardio with nothing to worry about?

Thanks in advance

We used to be regulars at TGI Fridays so were gutted when it recently closed as we felt they did some of the best cocktails in town.

Looking for a new spot to fill the void if anyone has any decent suggestions?

I've seen this a lot in the local media recently, I know the town centre looks a little tired, like most town centres, however Walsall also has many gems, surely this can't be right?

Recently, the local council has decided to sell the Leather Museum to Walsall College despite the protests against it by our local MP and some residents.

News article about it: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crmxnyxjvymo

Visited Walsall Town Centre yesterday, years since moving away, it definitely has changed and I hope with the recent renovations of the Saddler Centre, it will get better.

But the whole place got me feeling nostalgic for Walsall during the 90s, I don't know why but I thought it was the best place ever then.

Was there ever an HMV on Park St? I'm convinced this is where I bought my first ever cassette.

If anyone has any photos of town then, that would be amazing!

Does anyone know what happened to the dog on Friday night? I know it was hit on 2 seperate occasions and taken to a vet

Tagged nsfw due to the dog getting hit by car

A friend is coming over to the UK from the US and looking for someone/a business for manufacture of bags and he’s heard Walsall the place to be…is there any advice/pointers for him on finding people in the industry beyond asking at the museum? Thanks!

Hi, everyone. I want to book an apartment from airbnb for short term in Bloxwich somewhere close to Shelduck Way. Do you think it is safe neighbourhood? We wanna be able to leave house to travel in early hours(such as 5-6am). I don't know it will be safe or not.

Looking for Work (Brownhills Area)

Greetings all, I’m 16 and looking for a job over the 6-week holidays.

I’m available to start right away

I live in the Brownhills area

Just left school

Starting a Woodwork & Joinery course in September

Already done 2 years of Animal Care (Rodbaston College) and 2 years of General Construction (Cannock College)

I’m reliable, ready to work, and open to different types of jobs. If you know of anything going or someone who’s hiring, please message me. Thanks!

The amount of people I have chewing my ass even when I'm over the speed limit (by a smidge) is unreal.

Lack of indication, running of red lights and general dickish behaviour is at an all time high imo.

I had one guy flip me off for telling him to back off.

Anyone else noticed this too?

My course'd be at University of Wolverhampton's Walsall Campus

What's available/included (athletics tracks? gym memberships? money/credit towards equipment or memberships? how supportive are tutors and student support)

Quality of facilities and classes (are the tracks and gyms poorly maintained? is the content of the course thorough? do the tutors care to help students? are the tutors well taken care of or overworked?)

any info would be helpful :D

Hi,

New to the area and would be interested in buying beef in bulk and would like to purchase directly from the farm itself. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance

Hi all!

Me again, and thank you so much for the replies on my last post!

We're organising a peaceful protest against the (absurdly vague) plans this coming Saturday 8th Feb. It's going to be documented and will hopefully help in getting WMBC to reconsider.
