Your local council is considering closing a sports and leisure centre that it runs, in order to save money. Write a letter to the local council. In your letter give details of how you and your friends or family use the centre explain why the centre is important for the local community describe the possible effects on local people if the centre closes

Dear Sir or Madam, I am a resident of Lokhandwala Township and request you to reconsider the thought of shutting the recreational centre for cost-effectiveness. We were fortunate enough to make the best use of the facilities at our disposal in the leisure house,

firstly

, as a couple every weekend we tapped our feet at Zumba classes.

Secondly

, my younger one had been learning cricket for a long time and the toddler has a whale of a time in the swimming pool.

Lastly

, my in-laws meet and greet

people

and read classic books.

Moreover

, every quarter we have a healthy carrom tournament with my buddies, which has enthusiastic participation.

This

is the only

place

in the vicinity which bridges the gap between the socio-economic groups and encourages them to network with

people

from different walks of life.

This

place

definitely helps in being fit and boosts knowledge sharing among the

people

. If

this

place

closes

then

people

will lose touch with each other, rather children will be glued to their smart gadgets, affect elderly being isolated, and working-class individuals may not find a

place

that acts as a stress buster. The overall well-being of the community will be impacted on a larger scale. Kindly request you to contemplate the decision and pass the verdict in our favour. Yours faithfully, Devika
