Describe a change that will improve your local area.
You should say:
what the change is
why the change is needed
whether there will be any problems associated with change
and explain how it will improve your local area.
Just one look out of my window will tell you that my local area is crying out for more car parking spaces. Anyone with half a brain can see that the current situation is untenable in the long run.
As it stands, people are left with no choice but to park in the street, regardless of whether there are yellow lines or signs prohibiting it. I’ve even seen cars parked on the pavement or parked sideways to fit into very small spaces on the side of the road. In some instances cars are double parked, meaning that the person inside is blocked in and prevented from leaving!
I realize the change won’t come easily. As much as I would like to see it happen, there is no space to put a new car park in the area. You can’t just go knocking down buildings willy-nilly and at any rate the local authorities take an age to make any decisions or changes. Any new parking area would have to be located a few blocks away and this would cause uproar with drivers who are too lazy to walk an extra 5 or 10 minutes.
If they can ever get their act together and come up with a plan, I think it would be of huge benefit to the local area. The streets would not be cluttered up with vehicles, it would reduce congestion and people would be able to use the pavements again, rather than walking on the roads and being in danger of getting run over.
