I think Exeter needs more of these water fountains around..

Hey, me and my partner are picking up 2 kittens on Friday. We've been looking at multiple vets in Exeter, but they all seem fairly balanced in their reviews.
We're ideally looking for one that has a vet plan, but it's also not a deal breaker.
What vets do people recommend to go with and to stay away from? We're based near Polsloe, but we also have a car, so driving isn't a deal breaker!
Thanks :)
-- Update: Thanks for all the recommendations! We both appreciate it 😄
Just driving home from London towards Exeter on A303. Road is being closed many lights on scene, hopefully everyone is ok, possibly a hay bale lorry
Now that the uni students are gone is there still a buzz at night or is it a bit dead ? I was also wondering if the cities a good fit for someone who really likes music and then going clubbing ( surely there are more than 2 nightclubs ) or is it more a pub city ?
Or any nearby areas that i could go to for that?
Does anyone know the source of this constant alarm now that has been going off since at least yesterday and has been going throughout the night?
My guess is its some storage unit alarm that has not been deactivated but its driving me nuts! Don't know if the council are aware...
Me and my bf are meeting in Exeter next Sunday and I don't know where to go. We've been before as a long distance relationship but I don't know where to go. I know that for free there aren't entirely private places but I'm sure there are places that people rarely go. We just want a place where we can kiss and cuddle and not be insulted (as we did this before and some insufferable teenagers said nasty things).
Two weeks ago, the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s updated services Code of Practice came into force, having received ministerial approval and been laid before Parliament. This has and will continue to impact trans and non-binary people, leaving many of our community confused, distressed and angry. There is a lot of different information on the internet, in the news and being shared within the community, which can make understanding the Code of Practice and its impacts difficult. In response, the Waiting Well team want to offer you a space to come and hear clear, concise and understandable information, with the opportunity to ask questions.
On Thursday 20^(th) August between 6:30pm and 8:30pm, Waiting Well will be running a free webinar on Understanding the EHRC Code of Practice. This webinar will be part of our Supporting Your GIC Journey Webinar Series. The Waiting Well service is currently open to people who are 18+ and registered with West of England (Exeter/The Laurels) Gender Identity Clinic.
To register:
You can also select any other Waiting Well services that you may be interested in and a member of our team will get in touch to discuss.

Does anyone know of any scrappys that would collect a mix of steel and aluminium scaffolding poles plus brackets? My partner produced a theatre show that used scaffolding for the set and doesn't need it anymore. Thanks in advance!
Can someone help me. Im in a different country and dont know how to get help for her quickly.
Can someone DM me and help me get her help quickly? im scared she might end her life tonight
Edit:
999/112/911 calls are routed based on the caller’s location, so calling 999 from Sweden is not a reliable way to reach UK emergency services.
so i would need someone in the UK to help me make call
We’re looking to buy a house in Exeter. I have my conveyancer and mortgage broker lined up. One thing I haven’t thought about yet is a surveyor, we haven’t found a property yet but based on the houses we’ve been looking at I suspect we’d be looking at a Level 2 home buyers surveyor, does anyone have any recommendations for a RICS regulated surveyor?
I want to be able to move quick when we find the house.
Does the red light camera only cover the marked directions I’ve attached? Or does it also cover the Russell way junction heading towards the A379?
One of the main reasons why I moved to Exeter was for its creative community. It's obvious that there are markers & crafter in the city, but are there any journaling/junk journaling communities here? I'd love to know! I (30F) junk journal and memory keep all the time, I'd love to meet people in Exeter - or even join a journal club - who junk journal and make new crafty friends!
I've only lived in Exeter for a few months and never been to Exmouth. I really fancy a beach day. I don't have a car right now so Exmouth seems easiest.
Is it rammed in this weather at weekends? Is it a nice beach/ worth it?
Thank you
I’m not from Exeter originally. I moved there in 2022 without really knowing what to expect, and somehow ended up loving the place.
St Davids, the city centre, the Quayside, random walks from Uni and around the town, even the little everyday things. I stayed until January this year, and it’s been about eight months since I left.
I’ve lived abroad before, and honestly, I never expected Exeter to become a place I’d feel this attached to. But it did. The people were some of the nicest I’ve met, and over time it just started to feel like home.
For the last few days I’ve been thinking about it a lot. Maybe it’s just one of those phases, but I really miss the place. Not in a dramatic way, and I’m not unhappy with where I am now. I just didn’t realise how much Exeter had become my second home until I left.
