Your background documentation does identify the range of problems that come from high densities of MOHs occupied by students; but the policy proposal is far too restricted. It does nothing about most of the problems. Also, the attitude of Warwick University - that the community just picks up the problems caused by their free expansion of student numbers, is quite unacceptable. Just having a liaison officer is not enough. Their students are taking away houses that local people need; and putting pressure on prices for both rents and purchase. They need to take responsibility for addressing this.
