Blog to what extent your ward/SOA resembles a 'sustainable community' and what extent you don't think it does. Give some evidence from your observations (or your memories) of this judgment.

From looking at the statistics that the Office of National Statistics shows that 10,215 of the 11,038 people that live in Wolverton have good health or fairly good health, I believe that this shows that the health department of the community is working well and had sustained a high amount of peoples health at a good level. Of the 5,830 people that travel to work 3,946 of those people drive a car or van to work and 358 people are passenger on a van or car. This shows that Wolverton does not have many people that car share, from 358 people this could even mean that they receive a lift to work and not even car-share. This is very unsustainable.  Only 201 use a bus or coach to travel to work, this a very low amount compared to the 3,946 that work. This could lead to more pollution and making the environment around Wolverton unsustainable.

I couldn't really find much that was sustainable, apart from Wolverton has a lot of green spaces, which could be good for the environment and good for people who need space to take exercise, for example walking. Also Wolverton has many facilities such as schools, supermarkets, a swimming pool, opticians, health centre, dentist and a Library to name a few. According to the Defra website this counts towards being a sustainable community as it is well connected and so sustainable.

What is your attitude concerning people who are not planning to vote in the general election? What concerns do you have that may influence your vote?

The vote is there for you to use but doesn't mean that you have to use it. Many people do and many people don't. Unless you vote I don't think you have the right to moan about the current political party. This is because you hadn't made the effort to find out about the political parties and so have not voted for the one you would agree with.

The main concern is how the political party will effect students. Being a student I would either like the system to stay as it is or abolish tuition fees all together.

It also concerns me that the decision is going to be hard to make between the parties as it seem that none of the main parties get good press so this confuses me. I only get my information from news papers and TV news, so depending on who they want to make look good might have a power over who I vote for.
