Hi! We are looking at a house in Walton Crescent S40 2PJ. The police crime map has some worrying stats for this street (drugs, public order, violence etc). I used to live in a street where one household accounted for all crime, even though the rest of the postcode was a low crime area. It this the case here and should I be worried/avoid? We really love the house! I would love some local perspective :)
I realise that the new school year can be really stressful for very low-income families, so I am putting together a couple of secondary school starter stationery packs, with the intention of donating them. I have managed to pick up a couple of decent (Puma) backpacks at a reasonable price, and am looking to pack them with stuff a new starter will need
So far I have each for each one:
· Pencil case – a generic see through one
· Pencils
· Coloured pencils
· Felt tips
· Bic biros
· Highlighters
· Pencil sharpener
· Eraser
· A couple of lever arch files
· A4 lined paper pad
· Maths set – protractor, compass, etc.
Can anyone think of anything else? If I can get them at a reasonable price I am thinking of adding a scientific calculator.
Also, once these are complete can anyone suggest where I can take them to make sure they get to the right people? I was thinking the Foodbank, but not sure if that is the right place.
Thanks fo the help!
I bought a black leather moto jacket by a brand called Eagle. It's obviously old, but in good nick. It mainly needs a couple of sewing repairs to the lining, and extensive cleaning to the lining and outers.
Does anyone have a recommendation of any local businesses or people that could carry this sort of work out, please?
ATP this has to some sort of social experiment surely
Any suggestions where it would be good to view the eclipse on Wednesday? BBC suggests somewhere with an unobstructed view out west as it'll be close to sunsetting time by the time it's done
