Band 6+: Your local council is considering closing a sports and leisure centre that it runs, in order to save money. Write a letter to the local council. In your letter • Give details of how you and your friends or family use the centre. • Explain why the sports and leisure centre is important for the local community. • Describe the possible effects on local people if the center closes.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing this in regard to the closure of the sports and leisure centre in our local area in order to save money.

The sport and leisure centre in the local area have been part of our daily life since the day I was born. During the week-end my family and all of my friends always go there to do some outdoor activities, excercising or use the place just as a space for gathering together.

Moreover, the establishments also become a very essential space for the local community because without it we do not have any other place to go for exercise, also, the kids will have no place to go during the week-end to exercise or just a simple hang out with their friends.

There are some possible effects for the local community if the premises being close. Frist, it could create a negative outcome for the well-being the local people, for instance; it will affect the health quality of the local residents because the lack of sport facility and lastly, there will be no place for them to socialize.

Thank you for your consideration, and I am looking forward hearing from you at your earliest convenience.

Yours faithfully,
