Saturday afternoons in the square

Your community is considering a trial that would close the central square to vehicles on Saturday afternoons.

Write the text of a speech to residents and local business owners at a community meeting, explaining whether you think this change should go ahead. Weigh what the square and its users might gain against the difficulties the restriction could create for residents and local businesses.

You may invent relevant details.

Your response will be assessed for communication and organisation, and for vocabulary, sentence structures, spelling and punctuation. The total includes 16 marks for vocabulary, sentence structures, spelling and punctuation.
