There is a problem in the road outside your house. Write a letter to your local councilor. In your letter, introduce yourself, explain what the problem is, and tell the councilors what you would like to be done.

Dear Mr. Jhonson, I am writing to you to draw your attention to the inconvenience we are facing
due to
the broken
road
in front of the Mid Wood residency.
First,
let me give you a brief introduction. Well, my name is Sohel Khan, a web developer at one of the renowned IT companies in
this
city, and I have been living in the same neighbourhood for more than ten years. I
also
work as a volunteer for various local events organized by the charity committee of the city, and I am a secretary of
this
community as well, so I am involved in taking care of any issues faced by the residents of Mid Wood. Actually, the problem is that the
road
was poorly damaged during the
last
disaster our city faced.
Last
month, there was a snowstorm, and a couple of trees were broken, so that incident caused
this
unpleasant situation. The plaster of the
road
ran away, and the steel inside the
road
is clearly visible, which is absolutely a huge risk for all the commuters. We have been waiting for the contractors since
then
, as we have informed them, but there has been no
further
movement on it since they just visited and analyzed it a few weeks ago. I would like you to be involved personally in
this
matter since
this
is a serious hazard that should be immediately taken care of. If you are busy, which is generally the case because of your other responsibilities, I would appreciate it if you could please arrange a quick solution by discussing
this
subject with your personal assistant. I look forward to your prompt action in
this
regard. Yours
sicerely
Correct your spelling
sincerely
, Sohel Khan
