Dear Sir or Madam,

I read a newsletter from the English Times yesterday that a shopping centre is coming soon near our locality, which I think is not at all a good decision by city counsel.

As we all know, our society is already very congested and there are no enough space for on-going traffic and parking of the vehicles. Opening up the new shopping area will make things worse and would attract more visitors from nearby localities and towns.Even I do believe it will also hamper the peace and serenity of our place and risk it for children to go out and play with increased to fro of vehicle in society .

I would suggest moving of opening this new shopping centre location to outskirt of this town which has ample of space for new projects. Those area need a little more development , whichwould make things safer for residents to commute iin those areas as well which has quite incidents of loot and theft.

Looking forward for your reponse.

Your Faithfully ,
