Dear Sir,

THREE HEALTH HAZARDS IN OUR AREA

I am writing, on behalf of the residents of Ojoo community, to draw your attention to three serious health hazards in our area and to suggest ways in which the situation can be improved.

The first hazard is the heap of refuse at the central market. Waste has not been evacuated for several months, and the rotting rubbish now breeds flies, rats and a terrible stench that sickens both traders and buyers. I respectfully suggest that the Authority provide large waste bins and arrange for regular refuse collection at least twice a week.

The second hazard is the blocked and open drainage channels along our streets. During the rains, these gutters overflow and leave stagnant pools of dirty water in which mosquitoes breed, and malaria has become common among our children. I suggest that the drains be cleared, covered and properly maintained by the Authority.

The third hazard is the lack of clean, pipe-borne water. Because there is no safe water supply, many residents drink from a polluted stream, and outbreaks of cholera and typhoid have already claimed lives. I appeal to the Authority to sink public boreholes and repair the abandoned water scheme in the area.

These hazards threaten the lives of hundreds of families, Sir, and I trust that your good office will treat the matter with the urgency it deserves. The whole community will be most grateful for your prompt intervention.

Thank you for your anticipated action.

Yours faithfully,
Tunde Balogun
