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.
Natalie
