Write a letter to the local council about plans to close a children's playground in your area in your letter, you should: -say why children are not using the playground -Explain how important the playground is for the local community -Suggest how the playground could be improved

Dear Sir or Madam, As a long-term resident of the Mayflower district, I am writing to you to express my opposition to the proposed closure of the play

area

situated on Drake Road and to suggest how it might be improved for the benefit of local children. It is true that few currently use the facilities, but

that is

because they are old and poorly maintained.

For Example

, two of the swings are broken, the climbing frame is rusty and the

area

of the foot of the slide is always muddy. We should not forget,

however

, that many young families live in the

area

, and their offspring need a space where they can enjoy outdoor recreation

instead

of spending their time in front of screens. I would suggest that the council not only repairs what is currently there but

also

modernizes the

area

by installing new recreational facilities,

such

as a playhouse for younger children and a climbing wall for older ones. Investing in our children's social and physical well-being in

this

way can only lead to a better future for our community. Yours faithfully, Alex Roberts
