The road near your house is completely unsuitable for traffic. Write a letter to your local council. In your letter: • Introduce yourself; • Explain what the problem is; • Tell what would you like to be done. Write at least 150 words. You do NOT need to write any addresses. Begin your letter as follows: Dear ....,

Dear Mr. Mayer I am John Scot and I am currently living in "Locky Hill" next to the "Barlie Road". I am writing to request your urgent action for congested traffic
due to
this
road's improper construction. As you are aware of the narrow lanes of the street, I should mention that
this
situation
in addition
to a population increase in the area leads to a large number of cars which are being driven daily through
this
street. Everybody gets stuck in heavy traffic and moves at a snail's pace to reach his home. The situation exacerbates when it rains and all people get angry and shout at the others but there is no alternative way. I kindly ask you to finish the widening project of the street or provide a new path to reach our neighbourhood. If there is another way, the drivers will not have to enter
this
narrow path. I look forward to seeing your response and making the situation better. Sincerely yours, John Scot
