*Hi BarrieIt shocks deeply me to read about this tragic attack on your mother and truly hope that she will recover fully.*
*Rosemary wrote two days ago "My personal belief if that certain "factions" (?) are trying to convey as little crime as possible. Just my theory."* *Thanks for posting this crime Barrie and hope that more residents report on crime in their street. we in Oxford Road have our fair share but to my shame I stopped communicating them to the powers to be by lack of any meaningful response.It's hoped that certain "factions" will pick up on this topic and start to inform the rate paying community of crime trends and patterns in order for us to make an informed decision to walk the Observatory Streets. It's nothing less than what we should be entitled to and pay for. The Observatory Community worked very hard for many years for a caring and sharing community and things have to change soon.* *Regards,* *Frank* On 15 October 2014 22:06, Doug Price <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Barrie, > > > > Very sorry to hear this, but as I look around Obs things seem to be > happening everywhere. > > I am also noticing more and more “snow” in the streets. > > I trust your Mother comes out of the coma, this is a very worrying time > for you. > > Trust she will recover. > > Regards, > > Doug. > > > > > > *From:* [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] *On Behalf > Of *Barrie Terblanche > *Sent:* 15 October 2014 08:46 PM > *To:* [email protected] > *Subject:* [obsnw] Attack in Trill Road > > > > My 74-year-old mother Monica is fighting for her life after she was mugged > in front of her house in Trill Road. > > She under went an emergency operation to stem subdural bleeding which had > put so much pressure on her brain that she slipped into a coma.
