  • your local council has decided to allow buses to the city centre, which is currently pedestrian only. Write a letter of complaint about this decision.

  • Dear [Имя представителя совета / "Sir or Madam"],

    I am writing to express my strong opposition to the recent decision to permit buses in [Название центра города], which is currently a pedestrian-only zone. While I understand the need for improved transport links, I believe this move will have significant negative consequences for the area’s safety, environment, and quality of life.

    My concerns are as follows:

    Safety Risks – The introduction of buses will create hazards for pedestrians, especially children, elderly residents, and tourists who currently enjoy the car-free space.

    Increased Pollution & Noise – A pedestrian zone promotes clean air and a peaceful atmosphere. Buses, even electric ones, will worsen air quality and add unwanted noise.

    Undermining the City’s Character – The charm of our city centre lies in its walkability. Allowing buses will disrupt its aesthetic and reduce its appeal to visitors.

    Questionable Necessity – Alternative solutions (e.g., improved park-and-ride services or shuttle routes to the zone’s edges) could address transport needs without sacrificing pedestrian safety.

    I would appreciate a response detailing how the council plans to mitigate these concerns. Thank you for your time and attention.

    Yours sincerely,
    [Ваше имя]
