Your local council is considering closing a sports 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 sports and leisure is important for the local community describe the possible effects on local people if the centre closes.

Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to you with regard to the recent news about closing up the local centre in my community. Ever since I was young, my family and I have gone there every Saturday to swim and play basketball. Now, I visit as often as I can to teach other kids how to swim.

This

facility is an integral part of our town as

this

is a hub for both the old and the young. There are lots of activities and programs that have been designed over the years that cater to our rapidly ageing parents.

This

place keeps their minds active and

also

makes them happy as they often come here to bond with their grandchildren. Shutting

this

place down will not only shatter the hearts of many but it will

further

lead to the loss of many jobs.

In addition

, there will be a surge in crime rates as the youths will now be idle and may turn to negative vices. I really wish that you reconsider your decision on

this

matter. I anticipate a positive response. Yours faithfully, Loveth Ejeh.
