Write a letter to the local council

Dear sir or madam, My name is Irina and I am writing to raise my concern regarding the plans to close our local sports and leisure center. It is hard to underestimate the importance of this center for citizens; in fact, it became the point where we all meet each other to share some positive emotions and spend free time. Also, one cannot miss the influence of sporting activities provided there on the health of the people My family is used to going to the center several times a week. My husband and I attend fitness lessons for adults on Monday and Wednesday after work, My two sons went to the center after school; they have a place there to do their homework, to play with other children and relax in safe environment. On weekends we usually meet friends there and go to the swimming pool or open-air tennis courts provided it doesn’t rain cats and dogs. I can think of several negative consequences the closure of the center could do. Firstly, people could become less engaged in sport activities which will definitely affect their health. Secondly, children will lose the opportunity to spend their time in a healthy atmosphere and will spend more time at the street, Finally, for the people interested in sport it will become more difficult to get to the place to exercise as the nearest sports center in Tornton which is 30 miles away. I believe this question deserves close attention. Yours faithfully Irina
