Dear Council, I am here to express my gratitutude towards having our opinion on utilising funds. I am writing this letter to suggest some ways i can contribute that might be useful to consider. Reiterating my appreciation for your decision to keep the discuission open for public. I have read the article in the newspaper, I truely astonished by your approach as this is happening for the first time in a decade. The question on utilising funds is very critical, however building sports complex and swimming pool could be a great way to enhance physical fitness in all age groups. Addtionally, there is also a need felt for a common laury which every elder could use anytime to access the market or medical store outside the society. I am serving as architecture in a renowned company. I can provide some good suggestions for utilising the space available with mimimum expenditure. I can also guide which direction is suitable so that heat could be minimized during summer and low mainteinance required in all weathers. I thank you again for approaching us and giving us opportunity to contribute. Yours sincerely, Merry

Dear Sir, I am writing this letter to pass my suggestions to the local council to facilitate them invest better in the neighborhood . Firstly, I would like to thank the council for acting responsibly by considering the public's opinion to invest in the neighborhood. I appreciate the soul of the local council for promoting inclusive governance in the neighborhood . I suggest this to be followed in other governance activities as well . Next, I have observed that the healthcare facilities in the neighbourhood are not good due to which the local people prefer moving to the nearby town for medical trearment. I suggest the local council invest primarily for the development of the healthcare facilities in the neighborhood. The second preference would be in construction of schools which could help in improvement in literacy of the local people. I encourage the local council to collect funds from the neighbourhood by explaining the way the funds could be utilized . Addtionally, I encourage funds to be collected from the community's treasury department as well . I hope the suggestions I have provided are helpful and help in enhancement of the governance of the local council. Yours Sincerely, A Abhishek

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing this to express my sincere appreciation for considering public's opinion about investment of funds in our neighbourhood. Being a resident in this locality I would like to provide some suggestions for utilization of money for development of our surrounding. To begin with, firstly park renovation should be considered as a top priority as it is used on daily basis for morning and evening walks not just adults but by children and elderly people as well. Next, a sidewalk construction could be considered according to funds, due to heavy rains, water gets lodged on the pavements and blocks the side of the road, which eventually causes disturbance for pedestrians. Lastly, local library requires a almirah for new section of books, it could be arranged by us. In the end, I would like to contribute as well by helping in construction of sidewalk. I am a part-time worker and usually free on weekends. Meanwhile, I can offer assistance in accounting and computing in the council hall during evenings on Wednesdays and Fridays. I hope you would consider my diligent suggestions and discuss with council members. I would look forward to hearing from you soon. Yours Faithfully, John.
