Iâve spent the past few weeks walking up and down the streets of Palmwoods.
Iâve spoken to business owners, employees and residents getting to know people and the issues theyâre facing.

They all hold the area in high esteem and have settled there for a change in lifestyle to keep that small town dream alive.

Fearful of crossing the road, driving through major intersections, having their children walk to the bus stop and ultimately fearful that someone would soon be killed.
