Band 5+: Your local council is planning to build a new shopping center near your house. Write a letter to the council expressing your concerns about this plan. You should include: - What concerns do you have about increase traffic? - What could be the impact on local businesses? - Suggest an alternative solution that would benefit the community.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing in response to your decision, which will impact on the future of our countryside. Although, I completely support the fact, that our neighbourhood should be improved considerably, I suggest you not to be in adnvance to build a brand new shopping centre next to my house.

First of all, our district is in a process of being fully resconstructed. The living area has not seen the adjustment since 2012, as many people declare. However, the establishment of the modern centre will unpleasantly inturrupt the work. For instance, an increased traffic and noise will be creating not significant atmosphere.

Second and the most crucial reason of avoiding the building is-pollution of a local environment. Basically, if our yard didn’t be destroyed by the affect of the redoing the area, the leftovers wouldn’t be a problem for us.

As a conclusion, you might switch the location, to more way convenient option, where it is needed. It would definitely be an honour to me, if you keep one’s ears open to my offer.
