Band 7+: There is a sports stadium near your home where large numbers of people come to watch games each weekend. This causes you and your neighbours some problems. Write a letter to the local council. In your letter • • explain who you are and where you live describe the problems suggest what the local council should do

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to express concerns about the noise and litter from the stadium near my home. My name is Daniel, and I live in Seattle, Washington. As I work night shifts, it is essential for me to sleep during the day.

While I understand the importance of weekly matches at the stadium, the noise from large crowds has made it difficult for me to rest. This has affected my health and my ability to perform well at work. In addition to the noise, the litter left behind after games has become a serious issue, with streets and sidewalks often filled with trash.

I kindly request the council consider relocating the stadium to a more open area, further from residential buildings, to minimize disruption. Increasing the number of waste bins around the stadium and improving post-event cleanups would also help manage the litter problem. Furthermore, noise monitoring during games could ensure disturbances are kept to a minimum.

I hope you will consider these concerns, and I look forward to your response.

Yours faithfully,

Daniel
