Band 6+: There is increasing traffic congestion in your area. Write a letter to the local authority. In your letter: • describe the traffic problems • explain why they are happening • suggest measures to reduce traffic.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to express my concern about the traffic issues at my area.

Recently, the traffic in Adajan area has increased drastically, which has caused several problems. Firstly, the local residents experiece significant delays during commuting, which would significantly affect their professionalism at workplaces or schools. Secondly, the noise pollution from the vehicles makes the living extremely difficult. Both of these issues have caused significant inconvenience.

It would like to explain the reason behind this. Presently, a new supermarket has opened in my place, which offers a large variety of products range from groceries to decorative items. Therefore, a huge amount of crowd visit to purchase those goods, even in late evening. As a result, the number of cars travelling through the local road has increased a lot.

I would appreciate it if you could construct new roads, as the existing one was built to accommodate the small number of vehicles. Consequently, it would decongest the traffic and ensure a smooth travelling experience. In addition, hiring traffic police in order to direct the travellers can also address the traffic-related problems.

I look forward to hear a promp response from you.

Yours faithfully.
