Arnwick is a big city with 200,000 people. People from Parkville moved to Arnwick to find jobs. However, it was expensive to live in the center, so the city government built flats outside the center. Soon, Parkville became part of Arnwick, and Arnwick became a city with over a million people.
Arnwick needs more schools, hospitals, shops and buses. It also needs clean water and better public services. Rubbish on the streets is a problem. It also needs more police to protect people and better ways of raising money to pay for everything.
