Dear Editor,

I am writing to protest about the plan for a new airport. Many people have been against the idea from the start. However, the government is planning to go ahead with the building next year.

First, the government says that the airport will bring us industry and jobs. However, in my opinion, it will ruin the character of Tamford, a historic country town. Although the airport would bring tourists, I am not sure they would want to stay in a dirty, industrial town.

No matter what the government says, it is clear that the airport will also affect our health. Problems will increase even though the government has promised us a new hospital. Air pollution will get worse and this will be harmful to people, for example, it can cause cancer. Noise pollution will also have an effect on the houses and schools near the airport.

I think other people should write to the government about this problem. We should do everything we can to stop this airport.

I look forward to reading more letters about this matter in your newspaper.

Yours faithfully,

STEVE MORGAN
