CARTA:


ESTIMADO SEÑOR CONCEJAL DE URBANISMO:
Somos un grupo de alumnos de la academia"Learn & Enjoy" situada en la calle Perú, Leganes en el barrio del V centenario.
Le escribimos está carta para comunicarle que estamos participando en un proyecto de la ONG "Desing For Children"(DFC).
Nuestro proyecto consiste en investigar sobre las necesidades de la gente y la ciudad e intentar resolverlos. En particular, nos hemos centrado en la escasez de zonas para estacionamiento de bicicletas de Leganés.
Según nuestra propia experiencia los lugares donde harían falta serían en: los centros comerciales, institutos,centros sanitarios y barrios como Leganés Norte.
Le agradeceríamos su colaboración para llevar a cabo este proyecto. La juventud de Leganes le estaría muy agradecido por su gesto de contar con estos nuevos recursos.
Desde ya le agradecemos su atención.
Atentamente: los alumnos del grupo C9 de la academia"Learn &Enjoy".
