The maps below show the centre of a small town called Islip as it is now, and plans for its development. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The first picture displays the current layout of Islip town

centre

, and the second picture illustrates some proposed changes in the future. As can be seen, a pedestrian zone is planned to be constructed, and a new

road

for vehicles is planned to frame

this

area

.

Additionally

, there are proposals for more modern facilities and housing. Looking at the information in more detail on the current map, the town

centre

is developed around a main

road

, which stretches from west to east. There are many shops to the north and south of the

road

.

While

the

area

to the north is mainly countryside, a large

area

to the south is occupied by housing. Moving on to the predictions, a circular

road

that surrounds the city

centre

attracts attention.

This

road

, expected to be built, is a dual carriageway. The middle section of the main

road

is projected to be pedestrianised. Shops in

this

area

are planned to be demolished and replaced by a shopping

centre

, a bus station, and a car park,

along with

a housing

area

forecasted to be introduced.
