IELTS Formal Letters to Local Councils

Write a letter to the environment officer in your area complaining about the garbage problem in your neighborhood and say

- What is causing the problem?
- Why is it bothering you?
- Suggest a solution to rectify the problem.

Dear Sir,

My name is Vishwa Vinutna, a resident of Square villa colony. I am writing this letter to complain you about litter problem in our neighborhood.

The main problem is rubbish collecting van does not come regularly, because of this, the litter is heavily being deposited on the road. After, two days it produces bad smell that is harmful for us. Moreover, it attracts various insects and microorganisms. Sometimes, in windy atmosphere, garbage is dispersed on the entire lane, which makes the colony untidy.

This situation has worsened when one of my neighbors became sick because of awful atmosphere of colony. I am concerned about the safety of my family members and residents of colony. Hence, I believe this problem should be solved as early as possible.

To address this problem, I suppose that the rubbish should be collected daily or at least on alternate days to prevent the accumulation of waste. As a responsible environmental officer, you have to look into this issue and implement stern rules to avoid these kinds of problems.

I look forward to seeing a prompt action from you.

Yours sincerely,
Vishwa Vinutna

Dirty Street

by Isha Jajoo
(Pune)

A street near you has become very dirty recently, and you are concerned about this.

Write a letter to the council that is responsible for this street. In your letter:

- Explain why it has become dirty recently.
- Say what problems it has caused.
- Give some suggestions to solve the problems

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to you to outline an area I feel the dirty streets of Ottawa needs attention. Please allow me to explain.

While travelling through the streets on my way to work, I came across dirty and stingy corners. The garbage was littering on the roads due to which roads have become a breeding ground for mosquitoes. It creates a huge havoc for pedestrians and people who pass those streets. Simultaneous constructions of Metro train tracks and roads with arrival of monsoon had only worsened the situation. Of late I have seen homeless children falling sick because of the dirt.

I am sure I am not the only one to appreciate your efforts in renovating the street roads and metro tracks. If you could organize these activities in such a way that the free space and road equation could be balanced, it would be helpful for the common people of the city.

Closing of Football Ground

by Mercy
(Lagos, Nigeria)

The local council is planning to close a football ground down near you because it is in disrepair. You and other residents disagree with this and want them to keep it. Write a letter to the council. In your letter:

Explain why the football ground is not being used
Explain why the ground is important
Explain the wider benefits

Dear Ma,

My name is Mercy Uti, and I am a resident of the community with the football ground you want to close down.

The reason the football ground is not being used as often, is due to it’s horrendous and unclean condition. There are really thick weeds in the surroundings and this could be a comfortable spot for reptiles to live in. There’s also, a busted pipe in the corner and this causes constant spillage in the area and makes the ground very slippery too.

The football ground was created to help as a rehabilitation center for the teenagers and children in that area, who were going through rough times at home and in school. We have heard of success stories of children who became professional footballers from training in that playground.

Refurbishing and frequent maintenance of the football ground will attract an increase in people using the ground (resident and non resident). This will in turn, reduce crimes in our community and near by communities as well.

I would appreciate if you reconsider the closing down of the football ground.

Yours Faithfully,

Mercy Uti
