The area that I live in is called Aylesbury Vale 007C.

Collected data shows that there are no derelict buildings or vacant building sites located in this SOA.



The area I live in does represent a sustainable community, it recycles a lot, we have bins especially for glass, plastic, paper and tins, although we do not have any recycling bins or bags for green waste, this could make this area much more sustainable.


From my memory, any large areas in my area that have been vacant and haven't been green areas, have had better quality homes or other high quality buildings built on them straight away, no area is left vacant. For example the old retirement home in my village was getting old, so was knocked down and brand new top quality retirement home was built. This creates more jobs for people in the local area reducing unemployment.

As i live in a rural area, there is very little pollution created, the only problem is that if we require any provision we need to drive to the local town which is over a mile away.

Recently community support offices have started to be employed in this area, this helps to reduce anti-social behaviour and reduce extremism.

The area in which I live is Buckhamshire
The local MP is John Bercow, he is Conservative.

I dont think anything about people who decide not to vote in the elections as I myself personally dont vote, this is mainly because I dont see how many major changes are going to happen with different parties and I simply dont know enough to vote for one party. I feel that these are the same reasons why millions of people dont vote.

The main things that would influence my vote at the moment is that of tuition fees, as they are the only major changes that will affect me at this time.
