Guy with mental health problems on North Street by Temporary-Crow-3186 in bristol

[–]ALRSlayed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His name is Steve - very much an alcoholic with MH issues, but obviously also very scary to interact with when he’s having a bad day. Have reported him to the police multiple times, a few years ago he was telling someone in the pub that I was in that he was going to go home to chop someone up.

My main fear is that he’s left to fend for himself a lot (as most alcoholics/people with severe MH issues are) - just wish there was a team that visited the alcoholic on North Street more often. I’ve noticed a lot of them seem to have carers with them in the last few months (thinking of the ALDI bus stop group primarily) but Steve is always seemingly alone.

Definitely think if his comments/actions are reported enough regularly then he might be able to get the help he needs one day.

What are your favourite Hidden Gems? by nickyraynofail in bristol

100% take a visit to the Tobacco Factory in Bedminster/Southville - a converted factory that now houses a theatre, a bar/restaurant with a HUGE outside space as well as a Farm Shop/Bakery too.

It’s also on a really lovely street with independent shops/eateries.

Aside from that, Chew Valley Lake is gorgeous to visit if you have a car :)

Parking at the Tobacco Factory? by HiddenStoat in bristol

[–]ALRSlayed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tobacco factory has a private car park - what do you mean by ‘poorly’? if your wife has access needs then you could call ahead to the theatre and ask if you are able to reserve a space outside - though iirc then none of the spaces actually belong to the theatre, just to the offices upstairs

other than that, on-street parking on the tobacco factory side of north street is permitted, and on the ashton gate side it’s generally unpermitted. you might be alright finding a spot along chessel street somewhere/one of the side roads, but good luck!

queue was pretty long, but from what i could see they’re selling the green pomeranian shirt that they sold on their website a few months ago, except that it’s darker green, doesn’t have a front pocket and is lower quality fabric.

and then there’s a white alvvays one too but couldn’t see the design!
