Your local council is considering closing a sports and leisure centre that it runs, in order to save money. Write a letter to the local council. In your letter ,. give details of how you and your friends or family use the centre ., explain why the sports and leisure centre is important for the local community ., describe the possible effects on local people if the centre closes
Dear Sir or Madam,
As a long-term resident of the Carlingford district, I am writing to you to express my opposition to the proposed closure of the sports and leisure centre on Pennant Hills Road and to suggest how it might be improved for the benefit of the local community.
It is true that the centre is the key place for us to be close to each other.
For example
, our friends play basketball at least once a week, and my family go to a swimming pool every weekend there.
We should not forget, however
, that many young families live in the area and their offspring
need a space where they can enjoy outdoor recreation instead
of spending their time in front of
screens.
The place brings us together in our leisure time, and we have a healthy community because this
place is open every day. If the centre is going to be closed soon, there would be negative results. For instance
, it may be a reason for doing bad things for the youngsters such
as smoking, drinking, and so on.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours Faithfully,
