Do you get many tourists visiting your area?

Not really.I live in the inner-city and the area is a little run down.It’s basically a lot of high-rise flats,so nothing to interest tourists really.

run down:old and of a poor standard

What are some of the challenges facing towns and cities?

I suppose traffic congestion is a major problem.The growth in out-of-town supermarkets and retail parks mean lots of town centre shops are closing down.I think these are the major challenges.
