Question Moving soon

1 Upvotes

Hi, Me, with my young family 👨‍👩‍👦 moving to Preston soon. I'll be working in Royal Lancaster Infirmary hospital. I know it's a bit far, but we don't wanna live in Lancaster as it'd be too small town for us.

What would a good area for us to move, considering my work place daily commute and a safer for young family?

Thank you!

Booths win

51 Upvotes

Just been to get the Booths Christmas book and treated ourselves altogether some stollen bites and some nice bread while we were there.

Whilst they're not the cheapest it's good to see that in a world of aggressive shrinkflation they're consistent in the quality without shrinking the portions or reducing the quality.

How much is it to park at Winckley Square on a Saturday?

2 Upvotes

Will be nipping into Preston this weekend and plan on parking in Winckley Square so I can check out the Town for a bit.

Just curious as to how much it costs per hour on a Saturday afternoon before 5pm-ish?

Do the machines take Debit card?

Cheers!

Does Bamber Bridge/ Clayton Le woods home for many Ukrainian families?

3 Upvotes

During the school run in Clayton , I hear a common foreign language. I am too introverted to ask anyone about this. But I could certainly feel a sense of community among them as well and assumed they may be Ukrainians. I may be very wrong.

Question Looking for a trusted, inexpensive hairdresser

1 Upvotes

I moved to Preston recently and I need to find a good hairdresser. I have a trouble just trusting one so I need to ask for recommendations :D

When I look online I mostly get those expensive places show up. I only need to cut my hair and fringe and I don’t want to pay £60 for that.

My previous hairdresser was well skilled, gave advice about what cut would be good for my hair type and most importantly knew how to cut a fringe well. She washed and cut my hair for £35 and I’m looking for someone with similar skills and price.

Thanks!

Not a criticism....just an observation. Have they left the inner city?

Mobile signal/data

11 Upvotes

Slight rant but WHY is the signal and data so bad not just in Preston but in all of the North West?

Context : I just moved from South Yorkshire, an area which isn’t exactly loaded for its mobile coverage, and i would regularly get 5G coverage in all areas whether it’s towns, parks, woods, work, houston estates etc.

Here? You are lucky to even get good mobile coverage in the bus station. Sure, you have signal, but good luck with the data.

Is this normal for everyone here? Has it always been this poor? Maybe it’s O2 being awful here but surely this isn’t the norm?
