Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing this letter to express grave concerns about the recent decision by local council to close ‘Latham Community Centre’ for monetary reasons. Closure of the community centre will deeply affect the neighbourhood both physically and psychologically. To begin with, my family and friends extensively use the centre for various activities. My wife and mother take Yoga lessons everyday at the community hall. My friends and I use the sports facilities like badminton and swimming frequently. In addition to that, the centre is a favourite spot for locals to socialise. It acts as a breath of fresh air in our mundane lives. Children visit the centre regularly for sports and games. In fact it is one of the very few places that is safe for children to play freely. All of the above reasons have led to strong bonding between people and have subsequently created a safe neighbourhood. Finally, if the council still goes ahead with the closure decision, it will be a great loss to the community. Adults will find it difficult to socialise, children will be deprived of a safe place to play and have fun together. I sincerely request you to reconsider the decision. I look forward to hearing a positive outcome from the council. Yours faithfully, Christian Bale
