IELTS letter - Write a letter to local council about the closure of playground and explain - why so few children are using the playground - how to increase the number of children using the playground - why this is important

Dear Sir,

I am writing this letter to appraise you with an important issue concerning the children of our area. The local playground located in Model town has been used by many children over the past years.  It used to be the source of much fun and laughter, a safe meeting place for many children.   


 

Unfortunately, nowadays the playground is very run-down and in bad condition.  The seats on the swings are broken and the see-saw is also wobbly. There are some cracks on the slides which could be very dangerous for children. There are also no shady trees for children to sit and play. That is why parents are worried about children going to that playground and so few children are seen there nowadays.

If we are to encourage our children for outdoor activities then it is important to immediately improve the condition of the playground. As it is children today are suffering from childhood obesity and so beautiful and well-maintained playgrounds are a must to encourage children to do outdoor activities. It is my humble request to have new swings, see-saws and slides because the earlier ones are beyond repair. Shady trees need to be planted which in due course of time will be a big asset.

Hoping for a prompt action from you regarding this matter!

Yours faithfully,

Kiran Makkar
