YOU RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE PLANS TO BUILD A NEW AIRPORT IN YOUR AREA AND YOU ARE NOT HAPPY WITH IT. WRITE A LETTER TO THE LOCAL AUTHORITY. IN YOUR LETTER, - SAY HOW YOU FOUND OUT ABOUT THE PLANS - EXPLAIN WHAT PROBLEMS YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD WILL FACE - SUGGEST SOME POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS TO THOSE PROBLEMS.

Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing in regard to the new

airport

planned to be built in Ota Community of Enugu State. I came across the Guardian Newspaper published on the 2nd of October, where there was an outline about the

airport

project due for

next

year. What drew my attention to it, was the backlash written underneath it. Currently, the community is a tight-knitted neighbourhood with narrow roads.

Therefore

, establishing the

airport

here will cause a lot of issues,

such

as busy roads,and a noisy environment

as a result

of planes landing and taking off.

In addition

,

this

might lead to an increase in road accidents due to small roads.

However

, I am suggesting that the

airport

should be built between Ota and the nearby town, which is Oguta. There is massive space which can house an

airport

comfortably without disturbing the neighbourhood.

Furthermore

, the government should expand the road network of both communities,

this

will help combat accidents in future, and

also

mount street lights so as to control traffic. I earnestly hope that these problems enlisted will be looked into, at the

next

Council meeting. Yours faithfully, Chika Ime.
