You are unhappy about a plan to make your local airport bigger and increase the number of flights. You live near the airport. (Formal Letter) Write a letter to your local newspaper. In your letter Explain where you live Describe the problem Give reasons why you do not want this development

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing
this
letter to let you know my concern regarding the airport expansion and to make more number of available flights to the passengers. I am Maruthi and reside nearby the airport which means the other side of farming land and the parking area.
Firstly
, Have been living in the same area since my childhood and have seen many more developments
however
I am not happy with the expansion proposal which was given by the AAI.
Secondly
, we might need to convert the farmland into a runway or for any other purpose which is exactly near to the airport and
also
the play area which is used by locals for a long time to play different games.
Finally
, with an increase in the number of flights will face a lot of noise pollution as well as traffic issues in near future. For the expansion we might need to convert the farmlands if we do so a lot of families who are dependent on farming will be roads and
also
this
will affect neighbours who are using products that are produced by these local farmers and
this
leads toneighborsue.
In addition
to
this
, we are destroying a lot of younger kids' physical fitness as they are utilizing play areas in their leisure time. Please consider my points to Rethink the development plans. yours faithfully, Varra Maruthi Reddy
