Dear Editor, I am writing about the council’s plan to replace part of Victoria Park with a car park. As someone who has lived next to the park for twenty years, I believe this would be a serious mistake.
Hurmatli muharrir, kengashning Viktoriya bog‘ining bir qismini avtoturargohga aylantirish rejasi haqida yozyapman. Yigirma yildan beri bog‘ yonida yashovchi odam sifatida, bu jiddiy xato bo‘ladi deb hisoblayman.
The council says that shoppers in the town centre need more parking. However, the town already has two car parks that are rarely full, except at Christmas. Building another one will simply encourage more people to drive instead of walking or taking the bus.
Kengash shahar markazidagi xaridorlarga ko‘proq to‘xtash joyi kerakligini aytmoqda. Biroq shaharda Rojdestvodan tashqari kamdan-kam to‘ladigan ikkita avtoturargoh allaqachon bor. Yana birini qurish odamlarni piyoda yurish yoki avtobusga chiqish o‘rniga mashina haydashga undaydi, xolos.
The park, on the other hand, is used every day by families, dog walkers, runners and elderly people who have nowhere else to sit outside. Its old trees are home to many birds. Once they are cut down, they cannot be replaced for generations.
Bog‘dan esa har kuni oilalar, it sayr qildiruvchilar, yuguruvchilar va tashqarida o‘tirishga boshqa joyi bo‘lmagan keksalar foydalanadi. Uning qari daraxtlari ko‘plab qushlarga uy. Ular bir marta kesilsa, avlodlar davomida o‘rnini to‘ldirib bo‘lmaydi.
I urge readers to attend the public meeting at the town hall on 12 April and make their voices heard. Yours faithfully, Margaret Holt.
O‘quvchilarni 12-aprel kuni shahar hokimiyatidagi ochiq yig‘ilishga kelib, ovozlarini eshittirishga chaqiraman. Hurmat bilan, Margaret Xolt.
The council also claims that the new car park will bring more money to local shops. However, a recent study of our town centre found that most money in local shops is spent by people who walk or cycle, because they visit more often. If the council wants to help shops, it should improve pavements and cycle paths.
Kengash yangi avtoturargoh mahalliy do‘konlarga ko‘proq pul olib keladi, deb ham da’vo qilmoqda. Biroq shahar markazimiz bo‘yicha yaqinda o‘tkazilgan tadqiqot mahalliy do‘konlardagi pulning aksariyatini piyoda yoki velosipedda keladiganlar sarflashini aniqlagan, chunki ular tez-tez kelishadi. Agar kengash do‘konlarga yordam berishni istasa, piyodalar yo‘lkalari va velosiped yo‘laklarini yaxshilashi kerak.
I am not against change. The park needs better lighting, new benches and a cleaner playground. I would gladly support spending money on these improvements. But destroying part of the town’s only green space for a few extra parking spaces is short-sighted.
Men o‘zgarishlarga qarshi emasman. Bog‘ga yaxshiroq yoritish, yangi o‘rindiqlar va tozaroq o‘yin maydonchasi kerak. Bu yaxshilanishlarga pul sarflashni bajonidil qo‘llab-quvvatlagan bo‘lardim. Lekin bir nechta qo‘shimcha to‘xtash joyi uchun shaharning yagona yashil maydonining bir qismini yo‘q qilish — uzoqni ko‘rmaslik.
Tushundingizmi?
Javob topa olmasangiz, «O‘qish» bosqichiga qaytib, matnga qarang — bu ham mashq.
