Question

Dear sir,

    As one of your regular readers, I have always admired your policy of supporting the problems of the ordinary citizens of London. I hope, therefore, that you will find space to publish this letter. I live in a tower building in the East End of London, situated between two busy streets with a street market along its third side. Naturally we suffer from the traffic, noise, dirt and waste gas. However, behind us we have an open green space with shady trees which provides us with a

 quiet pleasant place where we can enjoy our spare hours. We are mostly pensioners (领退休金的人) and there are very few children in the place.

 Our local government has recently planned to make use of this site for a short time as a play centre for about 100 children. Although all the people who live there are strongly against the plan, the government have totally taken no notice of us and have already started pulling up our trees and grass, in spite of the fact that there is a disused school and playground with in 100 meters which would suit their purpose equally well. I should be glad to hear from other readers who have had similar problems and might be able to advise us on what action we should now take.

P. Greene,

12 Gilmore Street, E1
