Question 153

Letter Supporting a Community Repair Centre

A disused fire station in your town is due to be sold. A local group has proposed turning it into a community repair centre, where residents could bring broken household items and bicycles to repair with volunteer help. The council has published the following results from a consultation of 200 local residents:

ResponseNumber of residents
Support a community repair centre118
Support selling the building to a private developer46
Unsure36

Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper arguing that the fire station should become a community repair centre rather than be sold.

You should:

  • use the consultation results to support your argument
  • explain the likely benefits of the repair centre and address the case for selling the building
  • persuade readers to support the proposal and take a specific action
