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, I am writing

this

letter to let you know about the consequences of the local council's decision to replace the

park

with a parking facility. I have been living in Central Town, Jalandhar since 2002, and I plan to live in the same area for my entire life. Yesterday, I read an article in the local newspaper that the local council has decided to build a car

park

at the site of Greenland

Park

which is a one-of-a-kind in our residential area. The construction has not started yet;

therefore

, I would like you to reconsider your decision. Being a local resident, other dwellers and I use

this

park

for our routine recreational activities as our residents have less space.

Not to mention

, children play in the evening, and old people walk

as well as

spend some time there to communicate with others.

Moreover

, youngsters spend time here for exercise and social activities.

Hence

, I request you to search for other alternatives to construct a parking area because

this

park

has a tremendous importance in our lives. May I suggest something? Either the council can build the underground parking at supermarkets or the pre-existing double-storey parking building could be converted into a high-rise building to save horizontal space. I am hoping for a better solution to save

this

park

. Yours faithfully, Amandeep Kaur
