Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing with regard to the construction of a new block which is being planned in our locality.

I came across this news yesterday while reading a newspaper and was not delighted as it would make all parents and children unhappy in the local area. The reason is that it is their go-to place for recreational activities such as walking, playing, and gossiping.

The construction of this building requires the demolition of the present playground in that particular area which is a dedicated space for children and grandparents, and its removal would make their lives boring since they will have to go out of town just for playing games which was possible in the city before.

This problem can be solved, if you may consider other locations for the construction so that locality members do not get affected by the change and continue to live their lives happily.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Sakshi Syal
