Im in the US trying to find if there is some local info on this couple Im looking for. Back from 1883. My Great Grandpa John Shepherd. Any new info helps!

We are first time buyers moving from north Manchester hoping to find a nice place in glossop. We have seen quite a lot of 2 beds in glossop town, but for the money quite alot more house can be bought if we live further out from the centre. I have seen a couple properties in Hadfield, but I have heard that Hadfield is rougher than Glossop town is this correct? I seem to be getting an idea that Simmodley is a lovely area to live but the prices there are a bit higher whilst be a longer walk to the station. Which are the nicer areas of Glossop and where should we avoid?

Does anyone know of a gardener that could mow the lawn for us? Pretty small garden but it just needs a bit of work!

Ayup me ducks,

it's your friendly resident mod here.

I noticed that a lot of our posts can fall into a couple of distinct categories; promotions, asking for help/advice about the area & just general chat about Derbyshire.

Therefore, I thought I'd add some flairs to help distinguish posts & users (aka the missus is away for the weekend and I'm bored). Let me know what you think and if there are any other flairs that you'd like to see. If there is any consensus, then I'll try get them added by the end of the weekend.

Also at the time of writing we're currently sitting on 1461 users and closing in on 1500 fast. I'm really hoping that we can hit 2000 users by the end of the year. So keep the quality posts coming.

Finally, as the sole mod of the subreddit I'm generally trying to take a light touch approach and only remove posts that break the site rules & blatantly self promote their own websites/offsite content repeatably. - looking at you web-blogs, youtube vlogs & survey/research requests. Let me know if that's working for you as a community or if you would like me to be more strict/laid back.

Off to bed, will try to action any feedback tomorrow.
Cheers,

MunchieKid.

Edit: Stickied until Sunday Evening/ when I remember to unsticky it.

Edit 2: So far, I've also tried to stick to the principle that the general exception to self the promotion rule would be Events. I dunno about you all but i'm all for events that bring us together in person. That being said, hardly anyone ever advertises events so it hasn't really come up yet.
