Your local council has decided to close the only park in your town and build a car park in its place. You believe this will have a bad effect on the people who live and work in the town. Write a letter to the mayor. In your letter introduce yourself explain why you think the decision is wrong say what you think the council should do instead

Dear Sir or Madam, My name is Gloria, I am one of the residents of York
Town
, residing in the
Park
Avenue apartment. I am writing to you to express my concern regarding the closure of Victoria
Park
in our
town
. As you are aware, Victoria
Park
is the only place in the city for inhabitants to relax and enjoy. Everyone irrespective of age visits the
park
on a daily basis to spend their leisure time in
this
beautiful
park
.
Furthermore
, parents could not ask for any other spot other than
this
park
for their children to have fun during the evenings.
Additionally
, there is a very good elderly community who comes to the
park
for a walk.
Thus
, considering all these aspects, I certainly believe that closing the
park
can have detrimental effects on the people in the
town
.
Nevertheless
, I completely understand the necessity of parking areas in
town
and I would like to give an alternative solution to mitigate
this
issue. Would you kindly enquire about the barren land north of Victoria
Park
which was originally purchased to build an apartment complex, but later, the plan was called off
due to
financial crisis. If we could arrange another area for a parking facility, it would be ideal because it satisfies the needs of all the citizens equally. Thanks for your co-operation! I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully, Gloria Mathew
