Describing a local area Describe a change that you would like to see in your local area. You should say - what the change would be - who would be involved in making the change - how it would be done - and why you would like to see the change happen. The change that I’d like to see in my local neighbourhood is the
pedestrianisation of the main shopping street in the town centre. I’d like to see
traffic diverted around this area in order to make it safer and more attractive
for visitors and shoppers. Most of the traffic that clogs up the main street is
just passing through the town, but it’s the local people who have to put up
with the congestion, noise and pollution. It’s the job of the local council to
make changes like the one I’m suggesting. But before the council does
anything, there usually needs to be some pressure from local people to bring a
problem to light. So, perhaps we need a campaign by local residents who want
to see this change. Then the council might contract a town planner or an
architect to come up with some possible designs for a new road system. I’m
not sure how exactly the process of creating a pedestrian street would work,
