GREYMOUTH

Dear Editor of the Grey star

I am writing to request that there is more drinking fountains situated around Greymouth in places like the skate park, hockey turf, Civic centre, aquatic centre, different places along the cycle track, netball courts and more at Dixon park because these are places that people play sports and exercise.

If there were more drinking fountains around, it would stop lots of children drinking sugary drinks and littering.

Thank-you for taking your time to read my letter and I hope to hear from you soon.

Yours sincerely
