A letter to a municipal authority is one of the more grown-up formats students learn, since it involves raising a real community issue rather than a personal school matter - it is a useful, practical writing skill for later in life too.
The clearer and more specific the complaint - mentioning the exact area and the exact problem - the easier it is for the authority to actually act on it, so precise details matter more than long explanations.
