Can I get some advice on moving for work or not?

1 Upvotes

I live in Birmingham. I have an option to work for a dessert Shop in wolverhampton. The issue is that they might want late night staff so travel might be hard. I also have a great room, an ensuite for £500 with all bills, a big room, laundry, kitchen backyard and everything in Birmingham. It's a really nice house and finding something like this in Birmingham is a massive steal.

So I'm just confused if i should go for the role in wolves or not, I've never been to the city so I have no idea what it's like, I like being in Birmingham too so I'm confused. The job is something I have got after 7 months of job search. Should I just move to wolves? Is it a nice place?

I like a breathable city , with things to do there. And I've been scrolling over spare rooms and not finding anything nice, I'm so emotionally connected to my room now.It sounds stupid ik but the job, is just a job, nothing too crazy. But literally the only lifeline I've got after so long. What do I do any advice?

Visitor Parking Permits

Does anyone know if it's possible to buy one-day visitor parking permits from the council for the Jewellery Quarter? You active them on the days you want. It appears to have existed once, but I can't find anything about it on the council's BRUM website.

Concept for new Birmingham county

0 Upvotes

For context Im from Wolverhampton and wouldn't want to be called a brummie ( No offense love you lot) but the name west midlands stinks of poo we can all admit it. Its just not catchy I think our problem is coventry. They dont belong with Birmingham wolves dudley etc and + if we want to actually be the second city we gotta unite properly to beat greater manchester so im proposing 3 things

  1. We rename to Birmingham and the Black Country ( no ones left out)

  2. We give Cov back to Warwickshire they don't belong with us. Imo they more similar to Leicester over there than to Brum

  3. We add those little towns that surround the area with no identity like kiddy, Redditch, Tamworth, Cannock, Bromsgrove and Lichfield

(ngl kidderminster, lichfield, tamworth and redditch are a stretch though

Metro

4 Upvotes

Hello, I’ve been lucky enough to work in Birmingham for the last three weeks. My commute involves using the metro from snow hill to bilston each day - I’m curious because as an outsider this seems a decent system with new trams. But in the three weeks I’ve done it, at least once a week there has been a major failure causing the system to stop and passengers asked to disembark and wait on trains platforms until issues are resolved. This seems to mainly be due to trams breaking down or developing faults. Is this a known problem with the trams and is it being rectified? It feels like a ridiculous level of issues for what is a modern system.

Happy "Ozzy Day" Brum!

Fantastic to see to many goths, metalheads, rockers etc. In the city centre today, back to the 90s!

Sad that the museum didn't add much to their exhibit but happy to have met so, so many people that have travelled 100s or 1000s of miles to visit our Brum.

Hopefully the council can see and feel the impact of tourism and double down on our metal roots.

The Birmingham Orchestra will be travelling around today to various locations playing Sabbath tunes so keep posted as they're really good.

Shoutout to Polywood for Ozzy the bulls massive ozzy specs x
