Dear sir,

My name is Ihilesen Egbokhare. I am a resident of House 1, real road, London and a constituent of your council.
I am writing to inform you of the damage done to the road leading up to my house in recent weeks. There is a porthole which seems to have appeared suddenly and which keeps expanding following the recent rainfalls, thus making access to the street difficult. My neighbours and I have met to discuss the best course of action and have voted to notify you sir of this occurence.
I would appreciate it if you could send out a road maintenance team to assess the situation and provide feedback on the most appropriate course of action to take in fixing the road.

I look forward to your response,

Yours faithfully,

Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is Arundhathi Sudhakaran residing in flat no 34 ,Al bakit building near westzone supermarket,Dubai. We are facing a serious issue with the main road in front of our apartment. The road has been completely damaged due to the heavy rain and flood occurred last week.
The tenants in the apartment are struggling to move around. It is affecting our daily commute to school , work and other activities. Most of the school bus and pickups are coming only till the 25 th street therfore we need to cross the road and walk through the dirt and waste water accumulated in the road.
We have already registered a complaint to the council and still waiting for a response.Your kind attention in this regard and suitable action would be much appreciated.

Regards
Arundhathi

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing this to bring to your notice the condition of the damaged motorway opposite my place of residence.
I, Grace Wilson, currently residing at 6th Lane, Rock-Wood Street, Pillsbury, NF. 8675. For a decade, I have been a resident of this place which is my native town.
Last week there was a sudden rainstorm, which caused greater damage to the highway in front of my residence. There are big potholes on the street which is making it difficult for the riders to drive by. The holes are bigger than avoidable sizes danger the car getting stuck in it and cause damage to the vehicle. The Pavement has wider cracks which makes the road bumpy and rough to ride on due to breakage of the smooth layer.
I would suggest calling for the Road construction department to analyze the damage caused and take the precautionary measures to reconstruct/repair the way and make it flat and safe for vehicles to drive upon.
I look forward to a favorable response at the earliest possible.
Yours faithfully,
Grace Wilson.

Dear Sir

I am writing this letter to draw your attention towards the deteriorated road condition in front of my house. My name is Amit Sapaiya and I am residing in Quarter no 9,Phase-3 of Rakkar colony built and maintained by Himachal Housing board.

The road passing in front of my house is entrance road to colony and is always under use by the residents or the guests. The road has built up big pot holes mainly due to regular passing of tractors and trucks for under construction houses in newly opened phase-4 of Colony. Last monsoon season has worsened the condition. It has become a cause of traffic congestion and can potentially result in any accident.

I request you to take up the matter on priority and initiate necessary action for repair of the road.

Yours sincerely
Amit Sapaiya

Dear sir,
I am Joseph living in James street. My house is the third house on your left after the first entrance. I am writing to draw your attention to the poor condition infront of my house.

The road is filled with potholes making it difficult for one to have a smooth ride on it. Also, the drainage system is very poor as the gutters are filled with dirt. This makes it difficult for water to pass during the raining season thereby, causing water to stand in the potholes making it a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

I will like you to consider allocating a day where every inhabitant of my street can come out to do some work on the road like emptying the gutters to ensure proper water passage. Concerning the potholes, we can call a road construction company to come and evaluate the damage and give us advise on how to solve this problem.

I will be looking forward to hear from you.
Yours Faithfully,
Joseph

Dear Region 2 Council,

I am writing to inform you that the main road in our area has recently been damaged. My name is Golnoush Salehi. I have been living in Araste Street in this distinct.
About 2 weeks ago, some labourers were working on BTC which is used for boosting the phone’s wireless connection. It goes to say that the main road was dug for this purpose. Unfortunately, they did not fix it and leave left the area. Since the road is problemtic, we have heavy traffic and cars could not commute easily.
I hope you find a great solution and remedy our issue immediately. Because all residents suffer from this problem. Thanks for your time.
I am looking forward to hearing your response.
Yours faithfully,
Golnoush Salehi

Dear Sir/ Ma’am,
My name is Anamika Mandal and I’m writing this letter to let you know about the day-to-day conditions on IGNOU road, Saket due to the damage caused by metro construction. This road is in front of my apartment, and recently, during a rainy day, it flooded, and the puddles were visible.
Firstly, the metro construction in this area is creating traffic issues and most days vehicles are stuck, as a few connecting roads are being shut to provide more room for construction. Moreover, our area faces unlimited power cuts sometimes during the day and at night which is again a result of this havoc construction.
Recently on monsoons, the road became muddy with all the drain water flowing out, making the road dirty and musty people had to walk on the overflowing parts of the footpaths as we professionals do not have a way out but to reach the office at time.
As a local resident, it’s a request to you if you can investigate the matter and plan out certain changes to cover the broken patches and holes in the road so that the rainwater doesn’t accumulate in one space also, the drainage system of the rainwater should be focused on. In the meantime, if it’s convenient please allow a few specific roads to be open for the congestion to ease and pass through other ways.

Yours faithfully,
Anamika Mandal

Dear Karan,

I am Ankush Moitra, a resident of Rosewood colony in Newtown, street number 90. I am writing this letter to express my dissatisfaction and draw your attention to the poor condition of roads in my locality.

With the onset of monsoon, every year the roads in front of my house get severely damaged. Yesterday, when I was bringing my son back from tuitions on my two-wheeler, the front tire hit a pothole filled with water and both of us ended up falling on the ground. Since I was already aware of the poor road conditions, I was riding at a very low speed and thankfully we got away with minor injuries.

I think it’s high time we find a permanent solution to this problem. Proper alert signs should be put up at the beginning of Street 90 immediately so anyone entering the lane is aware of the potholes. It is my earnest request to you to get the roads fixed with quality materials so that they don’t wear off with the next season‘s rains. We have already seen accident rates shoot up in this area last year during monsoons. Hopefully, this year right action will be taken before something worse happens.

I sincerely request you to pay heed to the matter and take necessary actions for the betterment of the society.

Yours sincerely,
Ankush

Dear Sir / Madam,

I am Shazia Atyab residing in 14th Avenue, Gaur City 2, Greater Noida West. This is regarding the damaged road in front of our society’s main gate. Six months back, sewage work was carried out during the construction of the adjacent tower. It got completed in a month’s time however road was not repaired.

Due to damaged road, residents are facing difficulty as there is traffic jam during office commuting hours. Moreover, few school children have got hurt while boarding / deboarding their school bus. It is difficult to walk on foot too, during night time.

Request your immediate attention to the inconvenience caused by damaged road and wish to have a speedy action.

Thank you.

Regards
Shazia Atyab
