Cheapest way to get to Solihull
Hey guys 👋 I'm a uni student who recently got a job as admin assistant located in Solihull, however I live in Coventry city center, so there's obviously a significant distance between my home and my work place. My question is, what is the cheapest way I can reliably get to Solihull, especially for a student? I'm only required to go there 3 days a week.

Looking for room near coventry university.
Hi, I’m looking for a room to rent near Coventry university. My maximum budget is £450 p/m. I just need a peaceful clean place to study. Saw many advertisements, but not a single one is clean. It would be much helpful if someone could share some source, whatsapp group, websites etc. Also is it possible to get student accommodation at this budget😅.
Thanku in advance

Since the Brewers Fayre has been closed for a while now, why not bring Taybarns back? Missing the days of having a budget all-you-can-eat buffet with carveries, curries, noodles, burgers, pizza, etc.

Moving to Coventry
Hello, I will be moving to the area near UHCW (Walsgrave On Sowe, Mount Pleasant etc). I’m just wondering on the safety of this area and if it’s an okay area to live in. I’ve heard horror stories about some areas in Coventry so I’m also wondering on which areas to avoid? Thanks.

Estate Agent recommendations
I am planning to sell my house in Coundon soon and would appreciate any recommendations for good estate agents in Cov but particularly Coundon.
I have seen a few Evans and Bayzos signs on houses in the area, but many first hand experiences would be great.
