I think the construction site next to Giralang Primary School should be turned into small shops because it’s a lot easier for older people, so they don’t have to walk to Kaleen Plaza.
At the moment the construction site looks ugly and it’s unsafe because people can hurt themselves. It should be turned into small shops and very fast.
I hope you enjoyed reading and understand why I think that the construction site should be finished.

Dear Ms Orr, about the shops, we should as a community rebuild them.
Canberra was designed for suburbs to have community hubs. People such as the elderly, who can’t drive, shouldn’t have to catch a bus to go to the shops. Catching a bus to and from the shops can take a long time. If we had shops in Giralang it would make it much easier.
Something needs to be done with the site because it has been abandoned for so long. There is lots of graffiti and it doesn’t look safe. I have heard that some students go into the building site. They could really hurt themselves because there is lots of scaffolding and buildings things there.
Thanks for reading my letter.
Caleb said to me:
I’m writing to you about the construction site in front of Giralang Primary School. I think we should put a Target store there because kids and parents need to do shopping for the weekend and the next week of school.
You should put a shop there or make the construction site gone because kids are going in when they’re not supposed to. Kids could hurt themselves.
You should do something because kids are doing graffiti in there and the graffiti is rude. Thank you for reading my letter Ms Orr.
And James wrote to me:
Dear Ms Orr,
I think the building site should get knocked down and rebuilt so we can have new ideas and designs.
For example, a cafe, so teachers can go get coffee before they teach us.
There should also be shops there so people don’t have to go all the way to Kaleen.
But the 7 Eleven is good so you can still get slurpees, and chocolate and stuff.
Those are the views of a few of the younger residents of Giralang. I think they reflect the views of most residents of Giralang: that we would like some movement on this
