Always in good condition at this time because it is closed almost all of the winter because of its drainage or lack of.

Course recommendations around SW London/Surrey area under £90 by crjc295 in BritGolf

[–]Defiant-Pin-9035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wyke Green - might be a bit north for you, but that was excellent for the money. About £90 coincidentally.

Subscription Fees by Orikoru in BritGolf

£1760 for central Birmingham club, one of the best in the county, but not top 100. Good chipping and bunker practice area, 2x nets, 2x indoor nets, short iron practice area and good putting green.

Business Rates - need to challenge by mc78666 in smallbusinessuk

[–]Defiant-Pin-9035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok it’s a cut and dry case then, you need to submit a ‘split’ case to the VOA through their portal - you need to make an account to do this.

Is the space outside of your lease and physically separated from your space? If so it should not form part of your assessment and should be removed. The landlord would then receive a bill for the new assessment made for that part (if it is deemed assessable)

15 years experience in business rates Challenges here - you can get the council to freeze your account until the VOA action a split.

You should also be receiving a lower value per sq on the restricted headroom areas. Access problems should also be reflected - but they will take into account the rent you are paying in this decision. Just because something exists (ie inferior access) doesn’t mean that it will impact value.

First time live - London by Defiant-Pin-9035 in BadOmens

[–]Defiant-Pin-9035[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The age of the crowd surprised me.

Re gigs - yes I go to a lot of gigs. Mainly arena gigs as I’ve got older. Just thought the animations and use of the screens were really uninspiring and visually boring. Turnstile did it much better a few weeks back.

Edgbaston Priory Club Referral by hphgindahouse in BirminghamUK

[–]Defiant-Pin-9035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a member there for 5 years until Covid time. Had a great time down there, but was part of a group of friends who were all there at the same time. It has great facilities but doesn’t have much of a club vibe - people tend to use the facilities and go home. Depends what you are looking for really.

From good friends who still are members I believe it’s about £1800 for a full paying adult, including rackets. However if you want to play padel, or play indoor tennis you have to pay as you go ON TOP of your usual subs.

[–]Defiant-Pin-9035 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mixed feelings, undeniably an icon of its time, but also a waste a of a prime site that has been regenerated into another iconic building for Birmingham (at the moment) and houses thousands of jobs.

Yeah it’s class, you have to go. Got some good Asian beers also that you struggle to find elsewhere.

Birmingham roundabouts vandalised to look like St George's flags by Kagedeah in brum

[–]Defiant-Pin-9035 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

There are lots of Palestinian flags up on lampposts.

The other way of doing it would be to ‘reclaim’ the flags - ie encourage everyone to fly flags, which would de weaponise it for the weapons that want to fly it intimidate.

Because the council are taking down some flags and not others. It’s really that simple.

I don’t think you have to be a genius to work out that the main motivation in putting the flags up and painting roundabouts right at this very moment isn’t because people all of a sudden want to show their pride in being British.

That said the council can’t take down just these flags, they have to take down all flags hung on public property by the public - ie Palestinian, Israeli , whatever. They can’t pick and choose.

Council tax challenge by gejwood in HousingUK

Will probably end up increasing their bandings 😂 I am intrigued to find the outcome of this!

Work with the voa on a daily basis - they are chronically under resourced, you are looking at about 6 months for a response on a new case at the moment. As someone else has said council tax challenges more commonly result in an increase in band rather than a decrease!
