A Letter from Alan

I have learnt of a plan to build three hundred houses on the land called Parson's Place by the football ground.Few people know about this new plan to increase the size of our town.For me, Parson's Place is special because it is a beautiful natural area where local people can relax-the small wood has many unusual trees and the stream is popular with fishermen and bird-watchers.It's very quiet because

there are few houses or roads nearby.I think that losing this area will be terrible because we have no other similar facilities in the neighbourhood.

I am also against this plan because it will cause traffic problems.How will the people from the new houses travel to work?The motorway and the railway station are on the other side of town.Therefore, these people will have to drive through the town centre every time they go anywhere.

The roads will always be full of traffic,there will be nowhere to park and the tourists who come to see our lovely old buildings will leave.Shops and hotels will lose business.If the town really needs more homes, the empty ground beside the railway station is a more suitable place.

No doubt the builders will make a lot of money by selling these houses.But,in my opinion,the average person will quickly be made poorer by this plan.As well as this,we will lose a very special place and our town will be much less pleasant.

I am going to the local government offices on Monday morning to protest about this plan and I hope that your readers will join me there.We must make them stop this plan before it is too late.
