The subreddit is back!

18 Upvotes

Hello everyone. The subreddit is back after a long while with no posts! I requested to take over as moderator as the mods went inactive and I have been approved as the new moderator of the subreddit. I hope I won't disappoint you, but I am new to modding and will need to familiarise myself with the various modding tools. The first step I will make will be to open the subreddit so that anyone can make a post and I'll see how that goes. If there is any abuse I will change it back to being approved posts only

At the moment I will keep the rules, description, picture and banner as they are but if anyone wants them changed then just comment on this post. I hope to get this subreddit going again

Edit: appears I need admin approval to change the subreddit to public over private so will keep private and make sure I keep up with approval requests

Can anyone help? Looking for childcare professionals, babysitters etc. in/near Chesterfield

1 Upvotes

Can anyone help?

I'm looking to connect with experienced childcare professionals in Chesterfield and Sheffield as I prepare to launch Borrow A Village later this year.

If you know any nannies, nursery practitioners, Early Years professionals, childminders, teaching assistants or babysitters who might be interested in flexible local work (or even longer-term nanny opportunities), I'd be so grateful if you could point them my way or tag them below.

We're currently looking for our founding childcare professionals to register their interest ahead of launch.

There's a bit more information in the post below and on our website:
www.borrowavillage.co.uk

Thank you so much! 🄰 And please shout out if you have any questions/thoughts etc.

A clock tower that reminded me of taking time to be present in the moment, not far from Chesterfield Canal I wondered how many people would have clocked in and out of this building. Who were they beyond their job roles?

Severn Trent bills

13 Upvotes

Has anyone else noticed just how much Severn Trent have increased their bills by? I seen they were increasing their prices and seen it was reported around 22%, but it’s gone from 175ppm to 260ppm in the space of two years! And waste water has gone up 196ppm to 297ppm. Just had a bill through for Ā£260 in debit and they are doubling my direct debit starting next month.

That’s an increase of 48% for water and 51% for waste. How on earth is there any sort of justification for that increase.

Boring post, sorry. The sun’s finally gone in and I’m grouchy!

Anyone looking for a houseshare/housemate?

3 Upvotes

I'm 35 male and have returned to Chesterfield after a lengthy time away. All my friends are now either married with families or have moved away from the area so I don't have any direct friends to ask, but I'm looking for people who would maybe want to buddy up. I've seen a few rooms available but I'd rather know who I'm moving in with and have a cohabitation with people I get along with and can have a social network with than just take a room and end up with strangers who keep to themselves.

If anyone wishes to talk and see if we'd be a good fit let me know! I've seen a beautiful 4 bed property that between 3 people would easily be affordable.

Need a supervising driver on Monday, July 20th - happy to pay £60 cash

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I've got my manual upgrade driving test coming up on Monday, July 20th and due to taking the soonest available date I've given myself some logistical problems. I have hired a dual-control car from arnold Clark for the test, but my supervising driver can't help that day.

Because of rental company rules, I need a qualified driver to come with me to the rental branch to pick up the car, and then sit in the passenger seat while I drive to the test centre.

You won't need to teach me or do any driving yourself, just be a licensed chaperone so the rental company can hand over the keys.

Requirements (set by the rental company):

Must be aged 23 or over.

Must have held a full UK manual driving licence for at least 3 years.

Must bring your physical licence and generate a quick DVLA check code online.

I'm happy to pay £60 cash for your time (should be about 2 to 3 hours max. 15:30-17:30 hopefully). If you're free next Monday and up for helping a local out, please drop a comment or send me a DM. Thank you!

How much would you pay for my handmade and painted lamp?

5 Upvotes

This is not a post for promotion or sale, just a survey/market research. I’m considering selling my hand-painted and handmade lamps, possibly getting a stall or something.

What would you realistically pay for them?

  • Under Ā£100
  • Ā£100–£200
  • Ā£200–£350
  • Ā£350+

Also, would you prefer traditional patterns or a more minimalist design? See reference pics attached.

Road works

8 Upvotes

Whoever it is that is in charge of the roadworks in Chesterfield over the last 12 to 18 months needs their head taking for a shit and I’m not just referring to today’s closure on the A6 17. I understand that Work is required my point is there are better ways of managing traffic when the Work is required and whoever it is making these decisions to do it the way that they do it for some reason don’t see it that way and it’s causing chaos on roads sort it out

Horse Chestnut Close area in Chesterfield

1 Upvotes

We are looking to move to the estate behind Derby Road - Horse Chestnut Close area. Can anyone give me an idea what the area is like in terms of noise levels and general neighbourhood feel? Is there a lot of crime and antisocial behaviour in the area surrounding the shops?

Also, does anyone know how well those houses are built, including party wall sound insulation between the houses?

Any advice would be appreciated :)

PLEASE BE AWARE THE VIDEO IS NOT A NICE WATCH.

I have just seen this video posted to John Foresters story and it is just utterly heart breaking.
This man claims to be a dog trainer but is absolutely nothing of the sort.

This man lives and works in Sheffield and is doing this sort of thing to peoples dogs in our city and needs to seriously be stopped.

The dog training world is very unregulated and anyone can call themselves a ā€œdog trainerā€œ and put some business decals on a van. It does not mean they have any qualifications, knowledge or experience of genuine dog training.

I urge you to do what you can to stop this man. If you know any dog owners, spread the word. This needs to stop.
