The crimes that most concerned people were theft (57%), followed by vandalism (41%), with mugging and drunkenness not considered to be a real problem. " We feel there is little crime & feel quite safe" (Upexe)   Possible solution – discuss with police at the public meeting.

Index Top Employment 23% of Rewe's residents are retired. Over one third of the population work full time, including self-employed, and of this figure about a quarter work at home. Most of the remainder work in Exeter. Approximately a third of the 196 respondents (61 people) were in favour of a small business development, with nearly half (91) against, and similarly with small-scale workshop and retail units. There was, however, slightly more support for a pub! "Rewe is a beautiful unspoilt village – if we invite small businesses into the area we will get more traffic / noise / pollution" [Previous Page][Index][Next Page] [DF&F Main Menu] [Community Profiles Menu] [Community Appraisals Menu] [Top of Page] [Devon C.C.
