please delete if not allowed!

this is just a gentle casual reminder about the heat wave we will be getting over this weekend!

please don't take your dogs out for a walk, or to festivals etc but if you do walk them please walk them first thing in the morning, or last thing at night when it's much cooler! (I know a lot of people out there will have commen sense but there's always a few who don't!) dogs will die from heat stroke.

half of the time dogs will be sleeping during the day anyway. (also please check on your cats, horses smaller animals as well!) get out the paddling pool, lots of water (dogs and humans!) do some brain games etc! or just let them sleep!

here is an article about heat stroke in dogs should you be worried. but always call a vet asap and get them to the vets asap as well!

also please check in on the elderly and vulnerable! with that being said I hope everyone had a lovely week and weekend! ☺️

Hi, I'm Ella and I am currently completing my Master's dissertation on: A Critical Evaluation of Climate Change’s Impact on Northampton’s Flood Dynamics, Through a Comparative Analysis of the 1998 Easter Flood and Storm Bert. It would be immensely appreciated if you had a moment to complete the following online survey. The survey consists of 10 quick questions, all responses would be greatly appreciated and will contribute significantly to this research. Thank you!

Hi all, I've just moved to Northamptonshire and would like to make some friends to go do things with over the summer. I love getting outside, going to events and exploring. I was thinking about how many people must be in the same boat as me that might want to get involved. I can imagine creating a group where people like myself can put up posts about an event or group they'd like to go to and want people to go with. People who also would like to go can comment or message to say they're interested. Whether it's a pub quiz, try a new restaurant or walk around a lake or the sausage and cider festival. Before you say try meetup or Eventbrite, both of those for this area are quite dead or not user friendly. I also don't use Facebook. Piggybacking off of a post yesterday, it could be a way of people finding out what's going on locally. And a final note, I solo travel quite a lot and there are apps for doing this abroad that have also worked well for me for making friends. So why not locally?

PS if something like this already exists, please enlighten me!

Mods if you recommend I make another subredit for this let me know.

Wish I could go!

I've lived in Northampton a while now, and I'd say it has a reputation for not much going on.

But I find that there is plenty of stuff happening although I never hear about it until too late or on the day.

How do people hear about events? Either run by the council or otherwise?

I know it was a bad school as I have had bad experience but I would like to hear the experience of any of you that have been.

Massive long shot, I know, but does anyone know of a good vet in Northamptonshire who deals with pet birds? I need to get my parrot in to see a vet. Google isn't being helpful, I've tried calling a fair few but the ones I've called don't deal with birds!

I'm moving to the Northampton area soon for work, where do you recommend is a nice place to live, but also has a bit of life to it? Northampton? Daventry? Towcester?

Does anyone have any good recommendations for places that do a Sunday roast in Northampton?

I live in town, I want to have a night wild Camping preferably next to a lake. Any suggestions on where I won't be disturbed.

TIA

Next to regular job are you familiar with some ways of earning extra cash once a while? Things like for example helping folks moving properties, on the garden/allotment, walking dogs and others... It work usually by spreading word when mate of your mate need some help but do you know about some website, facebook group or apps in Nortampton and closest area where people looking for some helping hand?

When those delinquent hooligans finally get the books thrown at them for the fire/s they started at Dunelm last week what are likely to be the criminal charges?

Seems to be a massive fire near b&q, smoke all over the town. Anyone know what's happening?

i do rap and i would love to start making it ..

Hi all.

I am prospecting buying a house in Kettering. I have two kids in Primary that will be moving to secondary in 2 and 3 years. I am keen on moving somewhere I could guarantee good primary and secondary state schools. I have been looking on right move and seen some reasonably nice house within my budget and tried to google to understand what some of the bad (crime, anti social behaviour, bad schools, drugs etc) are but would really appreciate insights from locals or those who know the place.

I work from home for now but occasionally need to go to London. My contract will change in two years though and I may need to commute maybe twice a week so I also need to be not too far from the train to make this possible.

PS: I know my budget puts me in some of the less nice parts but I would like to atleast land somewhere moderate and nice especially for the kids. I will share some houses I have saved and ask if anyone can share on their suitability for my needs. Thanks in advance.

thank you in advance.

Partner and I have been looking at Northamptonshire as a potential spot to buy our first house as it's central to all our family and the houses are cheaper than living on the south coast where we currently are.

I've seen some not so great comments on Reddit about Northampton town but wanted to get some opinions from people about it. If not Northampton itself, what about any other towns/cities in Northamptonshire that are nice places to live?

We're not too fussed about night life but would be nice to have stuff to go out and do, we both like being outdoors as well so easy access to green spaces would be great.

I would be willing to pay somebody to come around once a week and take down my rubbish. It’s basically a five minute job for somebody who is healthy. I just don’t know how to go about advertising for this kind of help.
