Hi,
we’re four guys, and we’ve put together Westminster’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota. The concept is simple: you see two places side by side (for example Famille vs. Kachina Southwestern Grill), you choose the place you’d rather go to, and the ranking updates instantly. The more people vote, the more accurate the list gets over time. There are still a few duplicates here and there, but I’m continuously cleaning up the data.

Here’s the iPhone version, with categories that actually fit Westminster’s food scene:

And here’s the Android version (finally live):

P.S. I’m not from Westminster (I live in Gothenburg). I’m not collecting data, not selling anything, and the app does not use AI-generated content. I’m posting in a few different subreddits because we now support more regions, and I genuinely want honest feedback from people who actually know the area.

Why do people go half the speed limit on the A4232/Cardiff Bay Link Rd?

This has bugged me for so long now and I genuinely can't get my head around why so many people are dangerously slow on the dual carriageway, particularly on the bridge going over Cardiff Bay. I'd understand if once in a while someone didn't realise the speed limit was no longer 50 when exiting the tunnel, but there are plenty of reminders. That doesn't explain why someone was doing 35mph just now, nor why so many are doing 40-50 in the opposite direction. It drives me insane - someone please make it make sense.

Welcome runners! One request from a resident

Thanks for coming to run the half marathon in our fair city, I have one request that will make you excellent visitors and help out in the clean up afterwards.

Please don't throw gel wrappers on the floor.

Water bottles and such are super easy to clean up, but these wrappers can get pummeled into tarmac and can't be swept up easily. I'm a resident near Roath park lake and I've seen these wrappers last a fair few months before eventually breaking down, or worse pecked at by the geese and swans.

If you can pop it in a pocket, that'll be one less to deal with. Thanks for reading, and thanks for those that already do.

Have a great time!

Housemate got a fixed penalty notice due to seagulls. He never got the initial section 46 notice - what's the best course of action?

Bin bags put out at about 10pm the night before bin collection and collected in the morning - in between that time some bags got ripped open by seagulls. He received a fixed penalty notice without any previous section 46 notice and has to pay £150 - what's the best course of action? He doesn't have much money as a student so the £150 would be quite rough for him.

Info: it's a street where we aren't allowed to put wheelie bins outside and they have to be in black bin bags. There's about 5 properties (4 flats and 1 shop) that put bin bags out all together as there's not room to put them outside each door

Does anyone know how to book the barber James Pratt, formally of Lazarou Cardiff?

James worked at Lazarou until a couple of months ago and that barber was great. I didn't get his work Instagram, not being on there myself. Unfortunately for me, he has moved on and his former employer is unable to say which barbers he has moved on to. Fair enough with data protection and all.

I've tried searching online but Google has only found old reviews and barbers he worked at. Yes, I could find a different barber but James Pratt is amazing and I would like to give him my business if at all possible. I'm sure some of you must have had James as you regular guys for a cut and have the knowledge of how to book him. I live in hope at least.

The sacred bond of trust between a man and his barber cannot be broken. Please help.
