B. You are going to read a magazine article about various local campaigns. Choose the best answers.
A. Homes For All
Organisations that help the homeless are warning that people will face even greater hardship this winter
unless urgent action is taken to offer shelter to those without a home. This warning follows publication of
figures showing an increase in the number of homeless people. Susan Evans of the organisation 'Homes for
All' said: "With a shortage of accommodation, more people than ever before - young and old - are having
to sleep rough. A cold winter is predicted this year which means that these people will have to put up with
sub-zero temperatures. Action must be taken urgently to offer these people shelter." A nationwide
demonstration to raise awareness of the problem will take place this weekend. Supporters welcome.
B. Village Protest
Residents of local village, Shilden, are preparing for a night of protest to save their village from
Government planners. Proposals for a new motorway to be built that will run within 2 kilometres of
Shilden have caused uproar amongst residents. They claim that they were given insufficient time to
respond to the proposal. Tony Fellows, spokesperson for the 'Village Protest' campaign explains: "The
planned route cuts across some of the most picturesque countryside in the region. Shilden welcomes
thousands of tourists each year. Many of the shopkeepers depend on this trade and would almost certainly
face ruin if tourists were put off coming by the damage this road is likely to cause". The all-night protest
will take place in the fields where the building work is likely to begin.
C. New Youth Club
Youngsters in the city-centre will lose out on a much-loved project if substantial funds are not found this
year. The 'New Youth Club', which is open to young people from the ages of 10 to 17, is being threatened
with closure by Health and Safety officials who claim the building is unsafe. The club, built 30 years ago,
was badly damaged by heavy storms last year and city engineers estimate that one hundred thousand
pounds in needed to repair structural damage. With only limited funds at their disposal, managers fear the
club will have to close. Youngsters from the club have organised an Open Day on Tuesday in an effort to
raise some of the money needed to enable the repairs to be undertaken. "This alone won't be enough,
however" warned Adam Ross, Youth Leader.

D. Save Lea Valley
A rare species of butterfly and many native plants face extinction if the 'Lea Valley office complex' project
goes ahead. This is the claim made by local environmentalists involved in the 'Save Lea Valley' campaign.
They argue that the proposed development, to be built on the site of woodland dating back hundreds of
years, will rob the country of several rare species of wildlife. 'Local people would be horrified if they knew
of the consequences of this project,' claimed environmentalist Ian Wilson yesterday. "We need to instigate
a local campaign to alert everyone to the dangers. We are starting by writing letters to everyone in the area
asking for their support. The office complex developers must not be allowed to do this."
