Dear Sir
I am writing this letter of complaint to express my dissatisfaction with the standard of gritting which was not carried out during the period when snow and ice was on our roads.
Although I live on a main bus route which would take my children to school this road was never gritted therefore my children were unable to attend their secondary school as the busses were taken off the route as the road was unsafe due to the ice.
I would like to impress on you that this is their final year and that every day is vital to them as they are studying for their exams and should therefore attend every lesson.
Perhaps therefore in future you could make our road a priority for gritting so that busses can run and get my children to school regularly and on time.
Yours faithfully
Task 2

The article also needs to include what action will be taken in the future to prevent further closure.
It was unfortunate that our school was closed for two days during the period of heavy snow falls last month, this was mainly due to the safety aspects of travelling for everyone.
For example, teachers who leave their homes early by car to get to school on time to prepare for the day’s work when the ice and snow is at its worse is one reason, but when they get ready to leave at the end of the day they find their cars are stuck in the snow and
