IELTS letter - Write a letter to a park authority about damage being made to the facilities of the park.

Dear Sir,

My name is Narinder Singh and I am a resident of Model Town. I am writing this letter to appraise you with the sorry state of affairs of the community park of Model Town, Phagwara.

This park used to be the pride of the town, but today is in a bad shape. The gardeners, who are supposed to work here for 4-5 hours daily, do not show up for days. Because of this the grass has over grown and people find it very difficult to walk there. The benches, on which the elderly used to sit for hours have also broken from many places. The plants and trees also need pruning and cutting. The taps which have been provided to supply fresh drinking water are also not working.

I request you to look into the matter urgently and employ new full-time gardeners. The benches also should be replaced. The people are willing to contribute in the upkeep of the park. Parks are supposed to be the lungs of the community and their maintenance is your responsibility. We also need to maintain parks very nicely to encourage children to do outdoor activities. As it is they are turning into couch potatoes sitting at home.

Hoping for a prompt action from you regarding this matter!

Yours faithfully,

Narinder
