There is construction taking place near your home and the noise is disturbing you. Write a letter to your local council. In the letter, - Describe the construction - Explain why the construction is a problem for you - Say what you would like them to do about it
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to complain about a problem
that is
related to the construction
site that is
located next to my residential building.
I am living in The Lucky Building which is located in Mong Kok and the construction
site is located next to my building. The construction
started last
Friday and it will end in July. I understand that noise will be produced during the construction
period, however
, it is totally unacceptable that the worker worked until ten o'clock
and produced a lot of noise at night. The situation is annoying as it totally affects the life of my family and other residents in the same building. For example
, I am studying a nighttime online degree course and I could not concentrate on my learning as I was distracted by the noises. Besides
, my son used to go to bed at nine o'clock
as he needs to go to school at seven o'clock
early in the morning, however
, he has not slept well since the construction
began and this
affects his performance at school.
Therefore
, I would like you to communicate with the construction
company and convey my complaint. I hope that they could shorten their working time and end their work at six o'clock
in the evening. If the condition remains unchanged, further
actions will be done in order to alleviate the problem.
I look forward to your reply and hope that the problem could be solved as soon as possible.
Yours faithfully,
