The system used for rubbish/garbage collection in your local area is not working properly. This is causing problems for you and your neighbours. Write a letter to the local council. In your letter: Describe how the rubbish collection system is not working properly Explain how this is affecting you and your neighbours Suggest what should be done about the problem

Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing
this
letter to express a grave situation that the community of "Lake Street" is facing due to the inadequate system of garbage collection team, especially for the
last
three to four weeks.
Firstly
, Since the staff members of the local council are not coming regularly to collect the garbage, a huge amount of refuse are lying on the street. There are four staff members who were coming regularly since the 30th of
last
month, but suddenly they stopped coming. Even though we called at a contact number which is printed on the vehicle they come with, but nobody received our call.
Secondly
, the situation is getting worst day by day, due to the huge quantity of garbage lying.
As a result
, kids are getting infected, and some are even hospitalized. Even more, senior citizens are not able to for jogging, and kids are afraid to play outside. It is very frustrating and depressing for them.
Lastly
, I request you to please do immediate action by assigning the task to the concerned team.
Furthermore
, set up a proper internal control team, who will have a proper watch on the employees, whether they are going regularly in town to collect waste. I hope you will resolve
this
dangerous issue on a priority basis. Yours faithfully, Zubair Khan
