Some construction work is being done on the street where you live for the last couple of days. The noise from the work is loud and it disturbs you. Write a letter to your local council.

Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the construction work that happened in my neighborhood. Particularly, the activity has been producing unbearable noises every day, which has been disrupting my private life. To specify the issue, the work commenced in the center of my residential area last Tuesday. Since then, there has been constant loud volume created by the non-stop movement of cargo trucks and various machines like cranes and bulldozers. Despite our effort to enclose our houses with soundproof material, the sound still reached our homes and disturbed our business, ruining the whole day. As such, I would like to give you feasible advice to counteract this problem. One thing you can do is surround the construction zone with sound-trapping barriers. In this way, the noise cannot escape the area, which negates the harmful impact on our living space and consequently brings back the peaceful atmosphere. Moreover, reducing the workload is also a viable option as it leads to the decline of the formed noise. If the situation does not improve in the upcoming days, I will take you to court. I look forwards to your reply. Yours faithfully, Hoang Pham
