We want to keep our park!

Dear Director of the Newspaper of Ciudadela:

I am writing in response to your article ´Council Sees Senseˋ about the Greendale Park and the support which your newspaper has given to the Government to turn Greendale into a park car car park. 

This letter represents the point of view of my class at the College of Ciudadela. Unfortunately we are do not agree with your article, we strongly believe Greendale suposes provides a highly great value for our town and means is one of the most important Green Zones that we have in Ciudadela. The replacement with parking places is a terrible mistake and we are not willing to accept it.

As a newspaper, your role is to report to us with impartiality and if this is not possible you should compare the different points of view at least. We thought think you are not doing this and your attitude is prone to the government and not to the citizens. So we did a survey among the residents of Ciudadela and the results say an aproximately 75% of the survey respondents go to the park at least once a week and inside this 75%, a 33% go there daily.

Besides As well as this we have recorded the comments of the residents. They mostly think the park has an irreplaceable value, being one of the few places in the town free of contamination and where our children can play and enjoy in safety.
Another positive feature, it is the only place in the town where we have tennis courts for free (Or: a tennis court for free). We dont have such service except for the private clubs and not all of us can afford to pay it.

All things considered, we invite you to reconsider your attitude. We don't deny that a car park would be usefull but there are other options which haven't been contemplated such as building an underground park or building in another place, for example, in the abandoned factory located close to the river.

I hope that you take this letter into consideration this letter. We want you to show the opinions of our citizens about our Greendale park which is more than a place where we have beautifull flowers.

Your sincerely

Ana
