You have heard that a developer plans to build a shopping centre near your home. Write a letter to the council. In your letter • say how you heard about the plan • explain how you feel about it • ask for more information about it

Dear Sir, I am a resident of 17-B on Norman Road and I have some concerns regarding the construction of the shopping centre opposite my house that I wanted to share with the council. Yesterday, I received an email from the Head of the Council, which stated that they have decided to build a shopping centre. The email included a building plan for the shopping centre and provided the list of all the outlets, which will be a part of it. I would like to state that the residents of the area should have been consulted about the decision because this venture might lead to several other issues. For instance, it will draw more traffic resulting in noise and pollution. Furthermore, it will block the beautiful view of the garden and lake which can be seen directly from my room. Having said that, you are requested to kindly share the exact dates of construction and the approximate timeline for its completion so I can start to look for other places accordingly. Your sincerely, Ifrah.
