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.
