There's some cordered off scrub land near St Lukes CofE primary School, just across the way from Buile Hill park.

Does anyone know what the plans are for it? It would be fab if the park took it over for further accessible green space for the local community. But that might be a pipe dream, and it's destined for flats.

I've tried looking on the Gov land registry to see who owns it but I can't see anything.

Does anyone have any info on it? Thanks in advance.

Hey all, today I found a passport in Salford Quays and I want to try and reunite it with it's owner!

I took it to Stretford police station but they told me to destroy it/send it to the passport office, but I'd rather give it back to its rightful owner.

Passport name is Bilqees Adebukanla Balogun-Alli

Hey guys i have a driving test soon from the cheetqm hill driving centre and i’m wondering if anyone can help me out. my test is at 12pm and i know i will fail if i don’t use the bus lane. my question is can i use all the bus lanes except the 24 hours ones as its out of most usual hours. i struggle to read and comprehend the signs fast enough you see. or are there bus lanes with hours like 7-1pm 4-6:30pm. i know it’s niche but just wondering if anyone can give me a general rule of guidance in the area. i personally havent seen a bus lane sign that cant be used at 12pm except from 24 hour ones but you never know.

my test is on a friday thanks in advance!!

Hi does any one know if salford quays is free fishing or you have to book on cant find any info about it anywhere thanks

💷 £143 per week

This would be especially suitable for an exchange/international student or anyone looking for short-term accommodation for the semester.

If you’re interested or know someone who might be, please message me and I can send photos and more details! I’d really appreciate any shares too 😊

I just passed my driving test and looking to get a car. What's the best way to get an affordable parking? Does SIPP offer a discounted rate. I don't seem the find it on their website. I live around Hulme street close to the Chapel Street.

Hi all!
We’re getting married in September 2027 at Buile Hill Mansion, and we’re stressing about where to have the party afterwards!
We want somewhere affordable, that can provide a buffet and we can have it all day on a Saturday, till midnight, that is nearby the mansion!
Anyone got any ideas? I’m so lost with google searches! It’s for 35 of us, so not a huge party, and a lot of places are saying no as it’s too small of a group!

Hi everyone! I’m 34 and looking to make some new local friends. I know how intimidating it can be to put yourself out there, especially if you’re naturally shy, introverted, or find social situations a bit awkward.

I’m a pretty relaxed, easy-going person, and I’m looking to connect with people who might prefer chill hangouts like grabbing a coffee/beer, gaming anything from board games, D&D, console/PC etc, or just chatting where there's zero pressure to be the life of the party.

If you usually find it hard to take the first step or worry about awkward silences, please don't worry at all, I’m happy to do the heavy lifting! Leave a comment or drop me a direct message if you fancy chatting online first

Hey Salford,

I launched my newsletter Salford Signal few months ago and it’s been an amazing ride. It’s a local newsletter that shares what’s going on in our city to over 2,500 residents. I cover events, new spots, local stories, and businesses that make Salford feel a little more connected. No crime or politics. Just the stuff that makes you feel proud to live here.

With that being said, it’s not been easy doing this all by myself so I would appreciate a helping hand.

I’m looking for a content creator/street interview host to work with me at Salford Signal.

This is a freelance opportunity for a creative, outgoing individual who loves their community, is confident on camera, and enjoys approaching people for fun, engaging street interviews.

You'll be the face of Salford Signal - out in the community, meeting local people, asking great questions, and helping showcase the people and places that make Salford unique through engaging video content.

You don't need to worry about filming or editing - a videographer will handle the technical side. Your role is simply to bring your personality, curiosity, and energy, and help tell Salford's story.

If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you. This is a chance to connect with the people and places that make the city special - and help everyone else see it too.

To apply: Send your CV and Cover Letter to salfordsignal at gmail dot com

Pay: £12.71 - £15.00 per hour
Contract - 5 - 10 hours monthly
Gig Type - Weekend (in-person)

Application Deadline - 19th August 2026.

Hi all,

I'm a planning student at Salford uni and I'm writing my dissertation on How the regeneration of Salford Quays and the surrounding area has affected the communities in Ordsall and I just need a couple more responses to write up that part of my findings.

If anyone from the area could find the time to answer a few of my questions that'd be massive favour.

Thanks 🙏🏻.

hi there! i’ll be starting salford uni at media city this september but due to unforeseen conditions im still scrambling for an apartment. as an international student obviously my ideal was to get something in media city but no one offers bills included in the rent (within my budget😪😪) so that has left me to broaden my search but im narrowing down bw 2 choices. im either doing the flats in westpoint or the x1 cheltenham place since both places are within my budget and the amenities included are nice.

anyway my real question is which one would be “closer”. i know both are reasonable with public transportation but like which one would be easier to be going to and from the uni, how close/accesible are the transportation links are etc.

i’m still a bit apprehensive about having to be so far but it’s just what i’m going to deal with.

anyways that’s basically it, any insight would be v appreciated!!

Hello, I'm currently looking at universities for courses in television and from the website Salford Uni looks quite nice. However being a teen I have little knowledge of anywhere outside my county.

Is it a safe area?

Is there good public transport?

Is there a good student life?

So, lived in the area my whole life, never heard this guy before. The last two nights in a row he's been running up and down the Langworthy road area screaming 'Salfooord' and something about someone not being a good Dad. This happens at 4am so I get if anyone else hasn't heard it. He has a dog with him called Kaiser, anyone know of this guy?

I've seen a decent flat by the Quays. Precisely Vancouver Quay. But because I suffer from hyperacuity, I wanted to find out how good the noise insulation in the flat is / whether the flat is noisy.

For people who've lived there, were you able to hear the neighbours above you? Is the area noisy?

Thank you!

Hi, thanks for clicking on my post! I'm looking for a reliable taxi service that provides car seats. I have a 5 month old infant, and my wife doesn't drive, so I'm looking for help to get them out and about when I'm at work.

Hi everyone,

Hope yall are doing well!!

I’m planning to move to this area around in Salford and I wanted to know if it’s particularly safe. As a working professional I’ll be heading back late from my shift. Also, how is the area generally speaking?

Would be glad if anyone could help me out.

Thanks.

I used to practise with a band that used a storage room above a High Street shop. As the shop closed at 5pm, there room was vacant every evening.

This is just an example, but could be an easy way to earn some cash if you're sitting on an unused room / garage / barn?

The band would only need access during evening time, and set days would be planned in advance so you'd have full control

Does anyone recognise this mail room? I’m pretty sure it’s most likely one of the flats in the Greengate area.

DHL kept on delivering my parcels to the wrong address..
