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 sports and leisure centre is important for the local community • describe the possible effects on local people if the centre closes

Dear Sir, My name is Amandeep Singh and I am writing

this

letter to express my concern over the proposal passed by the director of the local council for the closure of the leisure centre in our city. The moment our family heard that

such

plans are being made, we got disappointed because we have been a constant user of that place. As you know, most of the residents in our society are working professionals,

therefore

, they don't get much time for their personal well-being. As sports help us to remain fit, most people tend to spend their free time in the gym. Working out at the gym not only helps them to remain energetic but

also

helps them to socialise. I am afraid if the leisure centre gets closed it would have a detrimental impact on our society. As we don't have playgrounds and stadium nearby, children of our locality will remain closed at their houses, glued to their TV screens.

Hence

, I request you drop the plan for the closure of the club and keep the development of children as a top priority. Yours sincerely, Amandeep Singh.
