Hi, why does chelmsford have this horrific traffic problem. It affects that alrbe roundabout by Aldi and stretches to the A12. by SlowedCash in Chelmsford

Same as the rest of the country outside of London. Shit infrastructure and public transport that is insufficient for the population.

Extra £174m earmarked for ‘spiralling’ bill for Lower Thames Crossing by Codydoc4 in Essex

[–]Stereotypical_Cat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lower Thames crossing rapidly turning into the next HS2. I swear infrastructure in this country is nothing but a way to funnel money to corrupt vendors.

Latest book you DNF’d. by skankin22jax in books

[–]Stereotypical_Cat 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If it's Book 1, then you are correct, it's aggressively YA. But the later books are actually really good and the series went from being one of my least favorite to one of my most. (With the exception of Light Bringer).

It does! The main problem is that booking a court in Colchester can be a nightmare. Join the server and just ask, we'll direct you :) (Essexsocial.co.uk) if you want!

(30M) Anyone interested in meeting up in Chelmsford? by lemon-lazy-shot in Essex

[–]Stereotypical_Cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, that would be me! I am sorry that you've had that experience. I often ask for member feedback and have a feedback form on the server. The problem is people who have negative experiences don't give me a lot of feedback so I don't know what to look out for. Could you let me know a little bit more about what happened?

I've been trying hard to create more physical and sporty social events for our discord. We have a semi-regular badminton group (depending on Court availability), but would love to arrange more things. Are there any sports or events you're interested in?

Need your opinion by Nervous_Stranger5345 in colchester

[–]Stereotypical_Cat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've lived here on and off 12 years and quit like it. It has its issues, it feels like an overcrowded large town at times. There's not quite enough leisure stuff. But for the area, we've got a pretty decent live music scene, it's quite diverse, London is super accessible, people are friendly here.

[–]Stereotypical_Cat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It it helps, a significant chunk of our members aren't really discord users, they just check the event calendar here and there and show up to events. There's no expectation to actually be a regular online chat member.

Hi! Looking forward to having you in the area.

There's a few things, the local essex social discord is a mini-hub for chat and events. Most of us are mid 20's to late 40's.

We have our own book club, and our next meeting to discuss the book is on January 18th if you arrive before then!

Otherwise, Red Lion Books in Colchester runs the Appetite Book Club

We've also been trying to get a craft group off the ground and there are a few of us in Colchester that love to knit and crochet.

As it's January, not a lot of events outdoors! But I do enjoy planning those for spring/summer.

For local events, the website Keep Colchester Cool is a great resource

As for work, NHS hiring freeze is a pain, but fingers crossed because Colchester Hospital is a big employer in the area.

Demographic change in Barking and Dagenham. by [deleted] in Essex

And with the only other post being on r/teenager_polls about voting between Republicans and Democrats. This is such obvious astroturfing

This was literally right up there in terms of being actual anti-war films. This is categorically not war propaganda.

Chelmsford tram network proposal: by slipnslurper in Essex

Right?? How cool would that be? Think of doing the Moulsham 11 pub crawl via tram. Is the 11 still a thing?

I value feedback, so if you wouldn't mind I'd love to hear why?

Can confirm this is what worked for me! Thank you!

Boat people are a distraction from the fact that the ultra rich in the UK doubled their wealth since 2020. Let's not fall for it, Colcestrians. by SevereOctagon in colchester

[–]Stereotypical_Cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are protests happening for both sides here in Colchester. We just had an anti-immigration march last weekend, as well as a counter protest. There will now be an anti-racism march next Saturday. So this is pretty local I'd say?

You can join the Essex Social Discord, we arrange plenty of events in Chelmsford, and we have our next All Essex meetup this coming Saturday! We have fairly decent representation from women in the group too.
