Work is being done on the street where you live. The noise is disturbing you. Write a letter of complaint to your local council. In your letter: ■ introduce yourself * explain what the problem is suggest solutions to the problem

Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing
this
letter to complain about the noise pollution that has been continuing since
last
week at night. My name is Dhruvi and I live in Queens Street. I am a physiotherapist and have been working in a Hospital for the
last
five years and
due to
that it is crucial to maintain a good sleep cycle.
However
, I cannot do that because of ongoing repair work on the street. The trouble is very obvious and recognized by several society members as well.
Hence
, the maintenance work has been done during the night. It causes a disturbance, and eventually, I cannot sleep appropriately and feel uneasy the next morning. It is my humble request to the authorities that they please cease
such
activities at midnight, despite the same thing can be continued during that time as the majority are off to their work during the day. Hoping for your prompt response, Yours faithfully, Dkp
