Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to express my concern, on behalf of the Reading community, about the proposed closure of the only
leisure
centre
in the town. Numerous people use this
place and the decision to shut it down contradicts with
the interests of the Reading residents. I am hoping that you reconsider your plan and keep it open.
The Change preposition

leisure
centre
has served us well for several years and many have enjoyed its
facilities that have been provided to us. It is an asset to our town and it is a place that many excersize, participate in several sports and social activities. It is an integral social hub of our town and a very treasured facility. I understand that closing Change the word

will save a lot of money, but do you really want to deprive us from
a local Change the preposition
of

centre
?
It is common knowledge that the leisure
centre
is a well-valued facility that all age groups love to use. Some schools can afford a small pool, which the council is reluctant to provide, and many walk

. However
, after taking snatching the leisure
centre
, education authorities will have to spend money on coaches and transport. A popular concern is global warming these days and shutting down this
centre
would consequently
force us to travel elsewhere. Many parents and carers will struggle and have the hassle of strapping children in for a long, uncalled-for journey- to Bracknell, where the centre
is most likely loud, overcrowded and chaotic. Many children will not want to spend their pocket money on transportation and without physical exercise
it will impact them psychologically and physically.
We are informed that the Add a comma

will be replaced with a supermarket and another park. As much as we love greenery, we’d much rather have a more entertaining, unique and inclusive to all ages, and a leisure

has been doing great for us.Unauthorized use and/or duplication of this material without express and written permission from this site’s author and/or owner is strictly prohibited.
