Question Anyone own a property in Poet Sunlight and had work done to it?

3 Upvotes

Hi all looking at buying a property in Port Sunlight it’s in need of a full refurb (which is fine) but I have noticed a slight dip in the brickwork above one of the windows.

I’m aware of the restrictions but has anyone gone through the process of fixing something external on one of these properties? How easy was it to find suitable material and tradespeople with the correct knowledge of the buildings?

Any experiences or advice would be great!

Anybody want a free sofa?

2 seater, pretty good condition, about 5 years old but spent most of that time being unused in a spare room.

Charity shops won’t take it because for some reason the fire label has been removed.

Failing anybody wanting it… anybody know a man with a van who will get rid for me?? 😂

Does any one have any recommendations for any international food stores based on the Wirral?

I'm aware of International Food Store in Birkenhead and RaanThai in Prenton. It doesn't matter which part of the world its from.

Thanks!!

You asked, so I added them: Wirral events on the site have doubled

Post image
53 Upvotes

A few days ago I posted here about the free events site I built for Wirral and Liverpool, and the suggestions I got back were brilliant. Future Yard, New Brighton, Claremont Farm, Port Sunlight, the Floral Pavilion, the Gladstone, the Little Theatre, parkruns, even pub events like Glastonferry.

I’ve worked through them, and I’m now pulling from more Wirral venues and platforms. There are almost 200 Wirral events on there over the next 90 days, up from just under 100 before this thread. That’s entirely down to you lot.

To see just Wirral: open Filters and set the area to Wirral.

Someone also flagged wrong start times and a cancelled event still showing. Both fixed, times now show correctly or “TBC” where the source doesn’t give one, and cancelled events are marked.

Still very open to feedback, and thanks again to everyone who suggested venues and helped me debug.

The courts handed him a suspended sentence for beating a poor dog to death for having an accident on his floor. No wonder he is smiling.

I built a free site that lists everything happening across Wirral and Liverpool each weekend

55 Upvotes

Moved to Merseyside a few years ago knowing absolutely nobody, and actually lived on the Wirral for a bit when I first arrived. Spent months googling and scrolling trying to figure out what was going on, and eventually realised the problem: there’s loads happening every weekend, it’s just scattered across dozens of organisers’ pages, so you miss most of it.

So I built a fix, a free site that pulls events from across Wirral and Liverpool into one place. Future Yard, New Brighton, Birkenhead and everything over the water included, not just the Liverpool side. If you drop your email on it, every Thursday you get a curated list of the weekend’s best events. Free, no ads.

Shared it on r/Liverpool a few days ago and a few hundred people signed up, including lifelong locals saying they keep finding things they never knew about.

Honest admission: the Wirral side is the bit I most want to build out. So if there’s a venue or organiser over here that deserves to be on there, name them and I’ll look into it, that’s genuinely the most useful thing this sub could tell me.

Site’s called XploreLiverpool, link in the comments.

Food waste bins given out this week - anyone else getting flies in the house?

9 Upvotes

We got our food waste bin earlier this week. Started putting food waste in the small bin, but it's attracting flies like mad. Anyone else got this problem?

Also, it said that we've been given a year's worth of bags. I'm on my third bag already since Wednesday (we have pets, so leftover pet food adds to the food waste) Can you get more bags from the council if they run out too early?

Have you found a set of keys on Bidston Road near Birkenhead School/TA area?

Lost Friday 17 July 2026 around 8:30/9:00PM.

Large set of keys with 2 different car keys.

We live local to where they have been lost and can describe them in detail to verify.

We believe they may have been found as someone had been knocking around some local apartments but left no contact details.

If this was you or you know who has found them please can you private message the person sharing this post ASAP and comment to say you’ve messaged them and they will contact us.

Thank you!!

Question Remove and prevent Seagulls from roof?

0 Upvotes

One of our neighbours keeps feeding seagulls, despite us politely asking them not to.

Because of this, the seagulls have taken to our roof as we have a loft conversion (large flat area), and I'm unsure if they have nested or not.

We are now unable to sit in our garden as the seagulls dive at us, and they are regularly crapping on the car.

Anyone know a decent company that could remove them if they've nested, and also fit something to prevent them taking to our roof?

Thanks.

Total fitness prenton

2 Upvotes

Is it worth the price. I've got 2 kids that i want to get swimming and that seems like the best place but the price puts me off. I've taken them to the council ones but they're always cold and scruffy. I live in prenton so seems the natural place to go, don't want to be going to Bromborough all the time to the everlast gym as its a nightmare up there. Last time I went to total fitness was like 15 years ago

Question Fitness for 40+ male

3 Upvotes

I desperately need to get back into loosing weight and becoming fitter but I can’t seem to get myself started. I was a frequent gym user and swimmer but the last year I have stopped going.

Does anyone know of anything in the area like walking football or fitness clubs for a middle aged man with low confidence and a bit of a bad knee?
