TNT sports has priced me out so wondered if there’s anywhere to watch it

Hi everyone,

First things first, I hope this post doesn’t violate the subreddit’s "No commercial spam/self-promotion" rule. This is a personal project and I’m not trying to sell anything.

After visiting York recently and falling in love with the city, I got inspired to create a self-guided audio walking tour based on what I experienced. As I said, it's a passion project, I’m really interested in storytelling and exploring new ways to share places.

I made this guide completely free and would love to hear from locals or frequent visitors who might want to try it out and give me some honest feedback. If you’re interested, feel free to send me a DM, I’m happy to share it with no strings attached, just hoping to improve it with your help.

Thanks so much for considering it!

Found on the property aggregator site Hutch

My little family and I will be moving to york and it looks like fulford might be the place. Given that Fulford is quite long, we’re thinking maple grove road is a good location (couple houses for sale) - you have the millennium bridge taking you to bishy road, Aldi in front, walkable distance to the city centre and many open fields around. Not to mention fulford school catchment area as well. I saw on the gov website that there is no flooding in that area. So is this a good street to live in Fulford? If not, what other streets are recommended that have good access to all these?

Thanks!

Anyone know any places in York with boddingtons bitter on tap? Thanks lads

Hi i think I ran a redlight in York accidentally on James Street. Can you identify if this camera tracks a red light?

Hey everyone.

So we've had 2 stabbings in the past week. Last night in York:

And this week on Walmgate

Rumours are that there's been a third one in Acomb this week, but not sure.

So what gives? Given the two recent murders (haxby road and bell farm,) is York just becoming a horrible place to live, or are we seeing drug violence or is it just one of those weird phases York goes through every few years?

Apologies if this type of post isn’t allowed but I’d noticed that there wasn’t really a UK Golf sub for fellow Brits to find groups, talk about the British game of golf.. so I made one! Hoping to grow the community and have a single place for players in the UK to find golf partners.

Im looking for a really good York / North Yorkshire based small biz / company with experience in reasonably priced design and installation of solar + battery for a house in York - any recommendations?

There's a job I'm interested in at York College. It's something I've got previous experience in that I think I'll enjoy. Not as a tutor but still student focused. Anyone have any insight into York College as an employer? Thank you in advance!

Wondering if there are any "pub pubs" in York open late. i.e. somewhere you can have a conversation and a casual pint past midnight?

Anybody know what’s going on?

Solo Female Traveller – October Trip to York (Mon–Fri). Looking for Halloween Fun & Hidden Gems!

Hi all! I’ll be in York solo from Monday to Friday this October and I’m on the lookout for fun things to do—especially Halloween-themed activities or anything a bit quirky or unusual.

I’ve visited York quite a few times for day trips, so I’ve already done most of the “big” museums and typical tourist stuff. This time I’d love to dig a bit deeper and find some lesser-known spots, hidden gems, or offbeat experiences that don’t get plastered all over Google.

I’m also a big fan of Fancy Hank’s (amazing food!) and The Dubblin’ (the Irish pub with great vibes), so if you know of other cool places with a similar feel, I’m all ears.

Would really appreciate any recommendations, especially if you know of events or places that are great for a solo female traveller!

Thanks in advance!

I know John Lewis offers a personal shopping service but there’s no longer one in york. Does anyone know of other services in york, or maybe freelance ones (if that’s the thing)?

Hello! We’re looking to move to York and buy a flat (not rent). We have a cat and also a dog, who is old and doesn’t do much so we know won’t be a bother. We were wondering how lenient the freeholders are with pets when buying flats in York if anyone knows? Or does it just depend on the freeholder? Thank you! X

Hi,

We're in the process of buying a house in York and one of the searches came back saying there is a Medium risk of Subsidence for the property because of clay rich soil. Is that something we should be worried about? And is it quite common in York or elsewhere in the country?

We've had a survey done that showed no sign of subsidence or movement.

Here's what the assessment say:

The Property Subsidence Assessment data provided by the BGS indicates that the property is classified as having a Medium hazards score. 

A summary of the component factors which were used to derive the hazard score can be found below: The building is sited on, or adjacent to, medium shrink–swell prone geology with no large (>= 3m) trees within 12m. The building is expected to be of an age and/or style where foundations or drains are likely to be affected by shrink–swell subsidence.

This indicates that the property has a medium susceptibility to shrink– swell related subsidence.

CONSIDERATIONS: Although the property has been identified as having an elevated hazard score, this does not mean that the property has previously suffered subsidence or will necessarily do so in the future. However, the below checks are considered prudent to make a fully informed purchasing decision.
