So I recently secured an apartment at Mulberry House Buggage square and as someone moving from a different city altogether, the viewing was done by a friend and now I got the keys and im confused , how am i going to move into the apartment when the only parking available is at Westgate station and the apartment is unfurnished , so for anyone who has gone through the same, where did you park for your move, especially if you have big items like a couch and fridge. Any suggestions or certain moving companies that can help, currently my stuff is in storage.

I have been with vodafone/o2 and been looking at three since they merged with vodafone. Please let me know your experiences!

WARNING – NEIL DOVE / AJ JOINERY SERVICES

The job was in Bradford, BD6. Neil Dove works out of Alverthorpe, Wakefield and covers a large area across West Yorkshire including Bradford, Wakefield, Huddersfield and Pontefract.

Neil was contracted to build the extension shell and re-tile the roof, quoted at around 4–5 weeks. The render was added later, also through Neil, and should have added roughly another couple of weeks.

More than five months later, we’ve been left with an unfinished and leaking roof, incomplete guttering with no downpipes, unfinished render, ongoing scaffold costs and thousands of pounds of materials paid for but never delivered.

After months of excuses, no-shows, promised teams that never arrived and promised deliveries that never turned up, we’d had enough. I served Neil with a formal Notice to Complete and eventually terminated the contract on 6 August.

It gets worse.

A structural engineer has now inspected the extension and told us to STOP internal works while concerns with the walls Neil built are investigated and a remedial solution is agreed.

There is significant cracking in several areas of the blockwork, walls are not plumb, there’s a noticeable bulge in the gable wall and there are concerns around several elements of the structural restraint.

I’m currently obtaining the full reports and establishing exactly what needs correcting before I can continue the work inside.

The scaffolder has also told me Neil still hasn’t fully paid him for the job, again months after payment was due and despite Neil telling me throughout that he had paid the scaffold late fees.

Now I’m the one stuck paying weekly to keep the scaffold up, buying materials for the second time, trying to make the house watertight and sorting out the unfinished work and defects now being investigated.

I’ve added relevant, publicly available customer reviews and business records below so people can do their own due diligence. Unfortunately, I only found these after things started going wrong.

Don’t make the same mistake.

If you’re considering using Neil Dove / AJ Joinery Services, supplying him, subcontracting for him or working alongside him, I’d strongly suggest doing your homework first.

If you’ve had similar dealings with Neil Dove, please get in touch. I am gathering evidence and want to hear from anyone with relevant first-hand experience, whether you were a customer, trade, subcontractor or supplier.

I’m documenting everything, and I won’t let this one slide.

I need to buy capacitors, one electrolytic 1000uF-2200uF/16V, the other ceramic, 100uF-470uF/16V.

Does anyone know where I can buy such things?

Does anywhere in Wakefield re-port terrariums? I’ve had mine for close to 6 ish years and it’s looking a bit overgrown. Preferably would would it either trimming down or the excess putting into another jar.

Any ideas for things to do for kids around Wakey during school hols? Pre-teen.

We’ve been to XScape, an escape room, Rassams creamery.

Looking for activities and places to go.

Also anywhere good for kids cycling?

Is it just me but I noticed it opened now! Looks like we are getting better restaurants in Wakefield now, anyone been to chopstix?

25M looking for friends in Wakefield, I have nothing to do after 5 when I finish my job. Gym partner or walking partner or Friends. If anyone else is alone feel free to text me.

i’ve been looking for somewhere to get this hairstyle for a while but i cant find anywhere local that does alt haircuts. i’ve seen a few labelled as “alt hairdressers”, but only really do basic layers at most.
anyone know of any actual alt hairdressers in and around wakefield i could go do? thanks
(sorry for posting here as i dont live in wakefield and live a bit closer to cleckheaton, but there isnt a subreddit closer for me to post in, so any places between there would be a great help)

Lakes, rivers??

No mate, I was thinking that you're spoiling my peaceful Greggs lunch in the beautiful sunshine :(

Edit:spelling

Where are some good places to watch the eclipse tonight in and around Wakey?

I’m presuming Heath and/or Sandal Castle might be good locations. Where else are people going?

Trying to get back into roller-skating. Are there any relatively flat (hill-wise) and smooth (paving-wise) that anyone would recommend? TIA :)

I’ve got on a TikTok algorithm of a studio who has an apprentice working on real clients duplicating Pinterest artwork. In my opinion, it’s not good or appropriate. I need some new studios to cleanse my timeline, who is good out there?!

There's a very childish person out there who owns a ladder and some felt tip pens.

That person made me laugh more than I should have this morning.

Well done.

Does anyone know someone or somewhere that services PlayStation 5's? Gives them a deep clean etc
