Topic: Crime
Enquiry
On Monday morning our host Jenny May will be in Rotorua as part of Breakfast's election coverage. We'll be doing a few segments on crime - one of them is lined up with Mayor Tania Tapsell. We were wondering who the best person would be to speak about the new community hub? We're hoping to talk with someone live on Monday morning at about 8am.
Response
We confirmed with the show contact person that Mayor Tapsell is the most appropriate spokesperson to speak about the community safety hub at this stage and will be able to cover details about the hub and the other community safety topics which they had highlighted (crime, crime reduction, community sentiment about crime, emergency housing, and what support Rotorua wants from Government post-election to address these issues) The mayor is scheduled to be on the programme at 6:05am on Monday.
