You have learned from a news article that a real estate company is going to build a shopping centre near your home. However, you think that the shopping centre should not be built there. Write a letter to the city counsellor. In your letter, say how you have learned about the plan explain how it is going to negatively affect the residential area where you live say what you think the city council should do about it Write at least 150 words.
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to draw your attention to the proposed shopping
centre
New Horizon. I have learned the news from the newspaper City Times, that a real estate company is planning to build a new shopping complex in the heart of the Hougang residential area
where I have been living for the past 10 years.
Since the shopping centre
going to be inside our residential area
, am afraid it will ruin the peaceful environment that we are enjoying currently. Moreover
, the shopping centre
going to create more traffic on the road which will be detrimental for the elderly people staying in our residential place. On top of that, the shopping centre
may consist of alcohol shops which will have a negative impact on the schools and religious temples nearby.
I like to politely propose some suggestions for this
situation. Instead
of allowing the shopping centre
to be inside the residential area
, it can be built somewhere outside Hougang Street or the entrance of the residential area
. This
way, the pollution, noise and other disturbances can be controlled leaving a balanced residential environment for the local residents.
Thank you for your time. I hope you will consider my suggestion.
Yours faithfully,
