You have heard that a developer plans to build a shopping centre near your home. Write a letter to the council. In your letter • say how you heard about the plan • explain how you feel about it • ask for more information about it

Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing

this

letter to express my dissatisfaction with building a new shopping centre in suburban area 24. During our annual

community

get-together, I observed the news about

this

plan and many opinions have been put forward by the

community

.

However

, most of them were against

this

due to

its location.

This

is because the proposed location is often used as a playground by children. Even though the land belongs to the council, many public events are organized in

this

place just not only for youngsters but

also

for adults

such

as musical events and

community

gatherings as well.

Hence

, if we lost

this

space, the

community

would become helpless and deprived of an area to be socialized.

Therefore

, as soon as I heard the news I felt angry and so sad about my society. There is not necessarily a requirement for a shopping complex in our area as there are many opportunities for purchasing. At the same time, I would like to ask for an update on the request of turning

this

land into a playground which has been pending for a long time. Is

this

proposal been converted into a shopping mall? Not a dire need of people. I believe the council would take sufficient actions to make it not become a controversial issue. I hope

this

information proves to be beneficial for the acknowledgement of local people’s opinions. Yours faithfully, John Smith.
