Dear Sir or Madam, I am a resident of Woodley in Berkshire, and I have decided to write

this

letter after reading a recent news article about the plan to build a shopping

centre

in our residential

area

. Needless to say, we do not really like

this

idea, and I hope that you would take the necessary initiatives to halt

this

project which would

otherwise

disrupt the peaceful lives of the residents. Our residential

area

is already over-populated, with not enough streets and parking

spaces

. Of course, the shopping

centre

will have its own parking

spaces

, but sometimes, those parking

spaces

just might not be enough to accommodate all the cars. And if

that is

the case, the mall visitors most likely would park their cars in our streets and parking

spaces

, making our streets even more crowded. The commotions, businesses and people would make our peaceful residential

area

worse to live in. Another problem is that our residential

area

has a sizable, college and university-going, young population who, most likely, would start wasting their time in the shopping

centre

in the name of socializing and having fun,

instead

of focusing on their studies. These are just some of the possible negative effects, but they should be good enough to convince you to relocate

this

shopping

centre

to a commercial

area

, away from any residential areas. Thank you in advance. Yours faithfully, Keith Marshall
