I have just heard an announcement about the idea of closing
the health clinic for young people in favor of building additional parking lots. Unsurprisingly as an younger citizen in the idea, I am writing to express my disapproval.
Firstly, I am against the plan because this clinic supports young
people , ensuring their safety, and is a very good use of taxpayers' money. Unfortunately, teenagers often require medical services such as suturing a wound or dressing a sprained ankle. In these situations sometimes happens that teenegers have no one to drive them to the health centre in the next town, where there are usually huge queues as well. In addition, as a representative of teenagers, I assure that children very often need professional mental support, which they cannot always get from their peers or are unable to turn to mom or dad for help. Obviously, this makes the health clinic a high priority.
Secondly, it seems to me that building more parking lots in our
city is not a good idea. Certainly, car exhaust fumes have an unequivocal negative impact on the environment by polluting the air. Clearly a better solution will be to build a bike rental station that will take up less space and encourage young people to choose an active means of transport. In addition maitaining such a rental, will be less expensive than building the parking lot, and will help protect the environment.
To sum up, i think that the new mean of transport is an excellent
idea. Hopefully the council will listen to my suggestions, and will cancel its plans to clinic closure.
