To what extent is your ward/SOA resembles a sustainable community and to what extent do you think it does.Give some evidence from your observations of this judgement.

A sustainable community is a place where people want to live and work now and in the future. It is a community that meets the needs of existing and future residence.

I live in Lumbertubs which is under Northampton North. My community is sustainable we have a tesco nearby, a leisure centre, schools and medical centre is within a walking distance.My community actively minimise the effects of climate change eg the council sends leaflets informing people that there will be locating a skip for household waste. The skip is normally paid by community cashback.They put the skip in a place which is easily accessible. There is also a local tip disposal in my community for things like TVs, computers,washing machines etc.You can also join Northampton north/ freecycle if you want to throw stuff away, this shows that my community is a sustainable community and people are well informed of events taking place.

The community offer opportunity for cultural leisure activities. The leisure centre nearby respect and engage with people from different cultures, backgrounds and beliefs. There is a good park which benefits young children and supports social cohesion.Also a church attended by people from different backgrounds. My community is fair to everyone, the public school in the area is composed of people from different backgrounds.The 2001 census show that there are people from different backgrounds and religions in my community.

My community is well built, there are a lot of decent homes and there are good parking areas. There is a good run of public transport that helps people travel from one place to another.Most people in my community use pulic tranport because it is very reliable. All in all my community is working hard to improve the lives people.
