The maps below show the centre of a small town called lslip as it is now, and plans for its development. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The first map illustrates the current Islip

town

centre

and the second one is the proposal for the future improvement of itself. It is obvious that the

centre

of the

town

will be well-maintained efficiently for the public.

Firstly

, look at the present

town

, the main road is across from the

West

to the East and several shops are alongside the road.

In addition

, housing, a school and a

park

are located in the South of the

town

,

while

the countryside occupies the whole North area. In terms of the future planned

town

centre

, the most significant change will be a new dual carriageway running around the

town

, though two driveways will remain both in the

West

and the East. Unfortunately, Countryside will be demolished and there will be more housing in the Northeast and the Southeast in dual carriageways

as well as

old housing satays in the Southwest.

Furthermore

, a new bus station, a shopping

centre

, and a car

park

will be built on the North side of the dual carriageway and pedestrians will have pavement between east and

west

. The shops will still run through the main road from the East to the

West

,

however

, the shops on the north side will disappear. There is the good news, the school and the

park

will be kept in the same place, the size of the school will be bigger, but sadly the dimension of the

park

will be a quarter of the original itself. In summary, Islip

town

centre

will grow and facilitate business, housing, and public roads by enlarging the size of the

town

, compared to the current,

on the other hand

, it will lose some facilities with nature.
