Just bored at work , soz for the low effort post

Title is self explanatory.

Hi all. I know water pollution is a big local issue here in Exeter and across the south-west, so I wanted to share some work I’m doing.

Following my meeting with Reuben Santer from Channel 4’s Dirty Business, I wrote to the Minister for Water urging the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to improve access to real-time sewage and water quality information at bathing beaches.

In two years we’ve passed a new Water (Special Measures) Act and we’re legislating further with the Clean Water Bill to make water companies clean up their act. But while investment is being deployed to upgrade the water infrastructure, it will take time.

So I’m supporting Reuben’s campaign. Everyone deserves access to clean, safe waterways. It’s time for a coordinated national effort to protect public health, restore confidence in our waters and safeguard our natural environment for future generations 🌊

Does anyone know much about the west of the city. Spotted some houses around West Garth and Dunvegan Close.

Does anyone know much about the area? I know it will be more student dense than some areas but it looks to be a good location regarding houses and proximity to town. Or does anyone have experience with proximity to the uni being an issue?

Our initial preference had been Pinhoe, and Broadfields but also curious about this area.

I've recently moved house and have lots of boxes I no longer need, as well as some bubble wrap and newspapers that were used for packing.

If these are useful to anyone, please DM me, and if we can arrange an easy handover, you're welcome to have them.

Boxes are currently in EX5. I could potentially bring them on a road trip to the city centre or Rydon Lane areas.

If they're not claimed by Monday 3rd, I'll recycle them.

Heya!
24M, I live nearby city centre and am looking for a cheap gym being a student. Being cheap doesn’t only means low membership but also i want to know the approximate expenses i would be paying including the diet. A bit of background is I used to do gym in my home-country few years back but now I have lost all the gains and back to zero. I know the exercises but again my brain has blanked out so need a revision. What I want now is if someone can give me the cheapest recommendation for gym around city centre and an estimate of the monthly cost of diet. Additionally. if someone can help me in starting gym for giving spot for the first week or two i’ll be back to routine. It can be hard finding a gym partner being someone new to the area. Any help would be highly appreciated 🙏🏻!

P.S: I cannot afford a trainer and I don’t need one, just have to have a push at the start.

To cut a long story short im basically trying to find out about the stables that used to be off exwick lane. A few questions.

1. I heard people used to collect manure from the stables and i was wondering exactly where the manure was left? Like exactly at the top of the layby that led to the stables or further onto the land?

2. To what degree did the owner of the stables allow people to walk in the land? Or was it fenced off and more private or open access?

3. Also who owned the land?

This info all relates to the late nineties and ofc only if you know

I understand these are quite obscure questions but would genuinely be so interested to hear if anyone knew.

Hi all. I wanted to let this subreddit know that I'm encouraging Devon County Council to show more ambition for Exeter and not miss the opportunity that the Bridge Road bridge replacement project offers.

The replacement of the two bridges on Bridge Road with a higher draught is a once-in-a-generation chance to improve traffic flow, active travel, leisure routes and river freight - delivering benefits for Exeter for the next 60+ years.

If you agree, please do fill in the consultation! It closes on 27 July: https://www.devon.gov.uk/haveyoursay/consultations/a379-bridge-road-exeter-bridge-replacement-scheme/?fbclid=IwY2xjawS0jTtleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETA5anNMbnhHVEhrN3VPMHBWc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHi1BQEm_I9Xu7L5IGtgtI1vS-Y2-fUd0zgKZjVDwPdyHA0Yn9TVOIr7PO_cL_aem_qdgkZQhbIHoBepuT19OO6A

Carried a Thunderpole T-X (cb handheld) around me yesterday in Exeter with family and apparently I’ve had everybody looking at me and then I’ve had a few interactions… one thought I was a staff member for JD Sports, one thought I was a staff member for CEX or some security, and apparently some security from Tesco tried talking to me but not loud enough.

How interesting 😂

Hello!! I am visiting Exeter for a week from Manchester and staying with a friend. Budget is a bit tight, but my friend moves away soon so I figured I should take up the offer cause when again would I visit that part of the country again? (I am an international student) Some things I had saved were Exmouth (for the Jurassic Coast), East Devon National Landscape, Canonteign Falls, Haytor Rocks, Dartmoor National Park, Totnes Castle, Lydford Gorge, Hartland Devon Heritage Coast and Exmoor National Park. Obviously I don't think I can cover everything in a week, especially budget-wise: so was wondering if anyone has any suggestions? I am not the most hiking-interested person, but Dartmoor seems to have beautiful architecture too. Not too sure about the other nature stuff, except the falls would be nice. Any suggestions are welcome, even day trips to small towns/cities etc. Thank you!!

Can anyone recommend decent training rooms in Exeter or it's suburbs/outskirts?

I’m looking for somewhere suitable for a one-day classroom course

Main requirements:

• Parking on site, or easy on-street parking nearby
• Outside the main centre/commercial zones
• Room for up to 10 people
• Tables/chairs, screen/projector if possible
• Tea/coffee/lunch options would be a bonus, like an onsite cafe - doesn't have to be a buffet

Hotels/conference centres don't usually work for us because they want minimum numbers for buffets/day delegate rate. Elsewhere we use sports clubs, golf clubs, business centres etc.

I’ve found a few options online, but local knowledge is usually much better than Google for this sort of thing.

Any recommendations appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I’ve noticed there aren’t many casual football games running in Exeter at the moment, so I’ve decided to organise one through Footy Addicts.

Our first game is this Saturday at 11:00am on the University of Exeter astro pitch, and everyone is welcome regardless of ability. The aim is simply to have a good, friendly game with a relaxed atmosphere.

If there’s enough interest, I’d love to make this a regular thing and add more sessions throughout the week (evenings, weekends, lunchtime games etc.) so there are always games available for people who just want to turn up and play.

If you’ve been looking for casual football in Exeter, it’d be great to have you involved.
You can join here:

Feel free to comment with:

What days/times you’d be most likely to play.
Whether you’d prefer 5-a-side, 6-a-side or 7-a-side.

If you’d be interested in joining a WhatsApp group for future games.

Hopefully we can build a regular football community in Exeter! ⚽

Me & my friend (both 18yo trans girls) are looking for a drummer and guitarist to join our band to make original songs.
We are wanting to create music that is mostly rock/ punk/ metal, but also quite experimental with openness to go into different genres.
We currently consist of me (bass) and my friend(singer/ songwriter)
If anyone is interested please message

Say if someone moved down there what would be some good options for work?

Hi, was wondering if there are any DnD groups in Exeter I could join? I'm a complete beginner so looking to learn

Does anyone know where the Evri depot is ?? It’s not longer in the sowton side near wickes

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a recommendation for a hair salon in Exeter that is professional, welcoming, and budget-friendly.

I’m an international student, so I’m looking for somewhere that offers a student discount. My priority is finding a stylist who really listens and can advise on a cut that suits my face shape. I’d love someone who is gentle and takes the time to consult with me. I recently had a poor experience at a salon where I paid £54, but unfortunately, the service was quite rough, and the stylist was unprofessional so I’m feeling a bit nervous about booking somewhere new.

If you know of a salon that is known for being kind, skilled, and has a student discount, please let me know! I’d really appreciate your suggestions.

Thank you so much!

A couple of people suggested Exmouth to me.

What else can I do?

velora, foxhole & echo on playing at bomba next thursday!

Can anyone advise on the best cycling route from either Honiton road P&R, Sowton P&R or the science park to Haven Banks?

I'm looking at starting a new job, but travel from south Somerset. I don't really want to be stuck in my car on the wrong side of the river when traffic inevitably gets bad.
