A council is closing a youth’s recreational centre because it is not being used often by the youths. Write a letter to the Council Mayor. In your letter: • Explain why youths rarely use it. • Write on the importance of the playground. • Suggest ways to increase use by youths.

Dear Sir, My name is Simeon Agbanoma and I am a resident at Beavers Estate situated in Yard

Council

. I am writing to discuss the recent decision the

council

made on the

playground

.

Firstly

, most of the youths find it difficult to use the

playground

because it lacks basic amenities

such

as the basketball court, goal posts and a sitting area for relaxation.

Additionally

, the maintenance policy of the

playground

is very poor and part of the

playground

has been used as a refuse dump which has brought an offensive smell to the environment. Before now, the

playground

used to be a great place to engage in sporting activities by the youths and other families in the neighbouring area. It is the only available space in

this

council

that many folks utilize to engage in diverse activities, it gives room for High school students to carry out competitive sports among schools. I would suggest that the

council

looks into changing the management company that maintains the

playground

.

Also

, a regulatory body should be set up by the

council

to monitor the activities of the company and all amenities illustrated in the

playground

blueprint should be installed. I would be glad if my suggestions are looked into. Yours faithfully, Simeon Agbanoma
