Hi,
Maybe the answer is twofold, object strongly enough that Rawson will go elsewhere and build so the greedy can make money. Secondly maybe the foreign students should be told they must make a case with the police, so we can get the correct statistics. Regards. From: obsnw@googlegroups.com [mailto:obsnw@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Natalie Poultney Sent: 02 April 2015 08:28 AM To: obsnw@googlegroups.com Subject: [obsnw] New Rawson Development and Crime Hi there I’m not sure if anyone has considered the link between the new Paragon development and an increase in crime in Obs? I rent a room in my home to foreign students and the rate at which they are targeted by criminals is alarming. My last guest was threatened with a knife 4 times in the last month alone walking to class in broad daylight and his bike was stolen last week. The foreign students talk amongst themselves about the crime and their experiences. They are considered easy targets and very seldom report crime for various reasons. Criminals come from far and wide for the opportunity to prey on them. If the development goes ahead, and I understand that the development is geared mostly towards providing student accommodation, we will have more students, more criminals coming into the area and more crime. Another reason to object to the new development.
