Write a letter to the local council about plans to close a children's playground in your area. In your letter, you should: 1) Say why children are not using the playground. 2) Explain how important the playground is for the local community. 3)Suggest how the playground could be improved.
Dear Sir or Madam,
As a long-term resident of Oakville City, I am writing to you to express my opposition to the proposed closure of the play
area
situated on Dundas Street and to suggest how it might be improved for the benefit of local children.
It is true that few currently use the facilities, but that is
because they are old and poorly maintained. For example
, two of the swings are broken, the climbing frame is rusty and the area
at the foot of the slide is always muddy.
We should not forget, however
, that many young families live in that area
, and their offspring need a space where they can enjoy outdoor recreation instead
of spending their time in front of screens.
I would suggest that the council not only repairs what is currently there but also
modernise the area
by installing new recreational facilities, such
as a playhouse for younger children and a climbing wall for older ones. Investing in our children's social and physical well-being in this
way can only lead to a better future for our community.
Yours faithfully,
Harry AlexSubmitted by brishjot999 on
