You are unhappy about a plan to make your local airport bigger and increase the number of flights. You live near the airport. Write a letter to your local newspaper. In your letter •explain where you live •describe the problem • give reasons why you do not want this development

Dear Sir/ Madam, I am writing
this
letter in regard to the information published in the local paper on 9th September 2023 about the expansion of the local
airport
and the number of flights. In my point of view, I believe if
this
plan is carried out, it would definitely increase the number of problems for the local residents. My house is about 20 minutes walk from the
airport
and life here is already tough
due to
the frequent flights and the traffic congestion caused by it. A surge in the flights would
furthermore
disturb the sleeping patterns of adults and children as well.
In addition
to that, the local park will
also
be demolished to expand the
airport
.
This
would reduce the playing space for the young children within the society.
Therefore
, considering all the negative effects of
this
new plan, I strongly stand against the proposal of expanding the
airport
.
Furthermore
, I would appreciate it if you could write an article about the ill effects of
this
initiative. Thanking you. Yours faithfully. James Marcob.
