Tamford. 9th January, 2007

Dear Editor,

(1) I am writing to protest about the proposal for a new airport. Many people have been against the idea from the start. Neverthless, the government is planning to go ahead with the building next week.

(2) First, the government says that the airport will bring us industry and jobs. However, in my opinion, it will ruin the character of Tamford, a historic, country town. Although the airport would bring tourists, I am not sure they would want to stay in a dirty, industrial town.

(3) Despite what the government says, it is clear that the airport will also affect our health. Problems will increase in spite of the new hospital the government has promised us. Air pollution will get worse and this will affect people, for example, asthma sufferers. Noise pollution will also have an effect on the houses and schools near the airport.

(4) I think other residents schould write to the government about this issue. This Saturday I will be outside the Town Hall to collect signatures for a petition. I think we should do everything we can to stop this airport.

(5) I look forward to reading more letters about this issue in your newspaper.

Yours faithfully,

(własnoręczny podpis)
