Secondly, please share your views on the payment stage. Did it work as expected? (2)
Finally, do you have any suggestions for improving the service for residents? (3)

Yours faithfully,

Your notes:

Application form kept resetting; had to upload documents twice
Payment page failed once and you weren’t sure if you’d been charged; stressful
Suggest: clearer error messages + confirmation email immediately + phone support for older residents

Writing Part 3

Food waste and “best before” dates

Your notes:

Many people throw food away because they confuse “best before” with “use by”
“Best before” is about quality; “use by” is about safety (especially for meat/fish/dairy)
Benefits of clearer labelling: less waste; lower household costs; reduced environmental impact
Drawbacks/risks: people may take safety less seriously; inconsistent labels across brands
Solutions: standardised labels, clearer guidance, and public campaigns on storage and smell/appearance

Changes after clearer labelling campaigns (selected countries/cities)

Place	Location	Year introduced	Estimated reduction in household food waste	Population
Copenhagen	Denmark	2019	-12%	0.8 million
Glasgow	United Kingdom	2020	-9%	0.6 million
Turin	Italy	2018	-8%	0.9 million
