You and your neighbours have noticed that the rubbish collection services where you live have recently been quite bad. Write a letter to your local council. In your letter, – explain what you have recently experienced – explain what the neighbours have recently experienced – ask what action will be taken to improve the service You should write at least 150 words. You do NOT need to write any addresses. Begin your letter as follows: Dear Sir / Madam,

Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing
this
letter to let you know about the deteriorated performance of the rubbish services in our locality, namely, Gasworks Heights. The service is scheduled for every Tuesday and Thursday of the week.
However
,
this
has not been the case for the past 4 months. For reasons unknown, the collection team now seems to have a randomized schedule which often means a few days between consecutive collections.
This
has resulted in a garbage pileup at our home, contributing to unhygienic conditions. The trouble extends beyond our own household and into the neighbourhood as the irregularities in the collection have resulted in trash pileups on the common pathways. Apart from the smell, it has now
also
turned into a trip hazard as recently acknowledged by our neighbour, who had an unfortunate incident with a pile. Would you kindly look into the same and ensure a proper schedule
along with
a prompt cleanup of the neighbourhood , please? Thank you for your time and consideration. Yours Faithfully, Kandy
