Government plans to construct an airport in your locality. Write a letter to the authority.
- Explain where you came to know about the news
- Describe the negative effects of airport construction
- Ask to consider alternate site for airport construction
Dear Sir,
I am writing to express my concern about the construction plan of an airport at the outskirts of my hometown, Harold county.
Although I had heard from some local residents about this plan, many people said it is a rumour and should not be trusted. For my confirmation, I paid a visit to the head office of local infrastructure and I learnt that it was true. Additionally, I have noticed the construction layout at the destined site.
I would like to bring into your notice the disadvantages of this plan. Firstly, in the immediate vicinity, there is a hospital and school which are required to be in a silent and quiet zone so that patients and students do not get disturbed. If the airport is constructed nearby, these services will be affected greatly in terms of quality owing to noise pollution the airport will create. Another issue is based on the potential layout, a large park and playground area would consequently be demolished, and as a result, locals will have no place for doing exercises, physical workout and many other recreational activities.
Alternatively, it would be great if rather than building a new airport, the old airport could be expanded because it already has a huge unused area in its proximity. This would not only be beneficial for the local public but also for the passengers because they do not have to travel back to another airport if they require to either transfer or change the flight.
I hope you will consider the highlighted concerns and the above-mentioned substitution plan.
Yours faithfully,
XYZ
