Food van Friday? Preferably coastal?
Was looking to go somewhere after work tomorrow and get dinner, was thinking there could be some food vans about. Anywhere under an hours drive would be great!
Tatty old flags
Doesn't it make you proud to see the tatty remnants of the Union flag in the St. George's flag hanging from lampposts everywhere?
You'd have thought with the world cup taking part that the flag shaggers would have at least put up some new ones, but no, as predicted they have been left and turned into tatty rags lining the streets.
I guess they racists and paedophiles have realised putting the flags up and making themselves the centre of attention wasn't a great idea.
Traffic Enforcement Cameras
Whilst driving on the highlighted route , I saw signs saying enforcement cameras present. However, I couldn’t see any speed cameras or bus lane cameras? Is it not applicable to this section?
Apple taxi user
If anyone regulary uses apple taxis in exeter please contact me urgent. Espacially in the last month.

reddit.comSt Sidwells Point Gym
Hi all,
Recently joined this gym, but I can’t work out how to actually get started there! Things like sorting access, getting an induction, etc.
Might be better off just popping over at some point and speaking to someone, but figured I’d ask here and see if anyone knew first 😅. Not sure if I’ve just missed an email or something!
Thanks
New Mental Health Support Team coming to Exeter’s schools and colleges
When I visit local schools and Exeter College to talk to young people, they tell me about the importance of making sure they can access the mental health support they need. Every young person deserves the chance to thrive, and getting the right support can make a huge difference to their wellbeing and success.
So I’m really pleased that we’re now delivering on this locally; thanks to Government investment, a new Mental Health Support Team will work directly with Exeter’s schools and college. The team will provide early intervention, small-group support, and one-to-one help for pupils who need it.
This is an important step that delivers on a commitment I was proud to stand on in our manifesto. It's good to see that promise now being turned into action for local families.
If you’re a parent, teacher, or young person in Exeter, I’d really welcome your thoughts!

Racism at Uni
I know this is quite a cliche topic regarding Exeter uni. But how is the diversity at this uni? Has any POC faced any sort of racism ? I’ve heard that it’s filled with very right wing, anti immigration, N*gel Farage supporters. Obviously, I understand there will likely be some sort of racism at any Uk university ( apart from QMUL possibly lol) , but is there more so at Exeter? I’m ethically Indian and I’ll be going to study medicine at Exeter this September.
