Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to bring your attention towards the poor condition of the road, which passes adjacent to my street.

My name is Armstrong, and I have been residing in 28 Bridge Drive for the past 30 years. ‘The Castle Road’, which connects the Crescent Link and the River Valley passes through our area.

The main concern which affects the road users is the delay in the road maintenance, which was announced six months ago. The traffic becomes dead slow in some areas, where numerous potholes disrupts the driving. It is also often seen drivers damaging the safety barriers while avoiding falling in potholes.

It would be appreciated if you could look into the matter with utmost seriousness because the schools are expected to reopen next month. There are volunteers in our community who can assist the maintenance jobs if informed in advance.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Armstrong Xavier
