A company has asked your local council to open a factory in the area where you live. You and your neighbors feel that this is not a great idea. Write a letter to the local council and state:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am a resident of Cavalry Street, Delhi. The purpose of writing this letter is to show our concern on the opening of a new factory in our area.
This will be the fifth cotton factory in this area as the four such factories have been operating since 2010. The number of working people is extremely limited in our locality, and this new factory will attract people from other cities which will increase our problems.
The pollution has risen at alarming levels since they use various chemicals in their process. Many people have started to suffer from asthma and numerous kidney related diseases due to the pollution. Although these factories provide means of income to the people of our area, they pose serious health risks to our children and elderly people.
We want you to take immediate action on this issue and do not provide permission to the owners of this factory. Please also send your team in the coming week to visit our area so that they can assess the situation.
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Yours faithfully,
Chris Smith
