Sandwell is the fifth most deprived area in the united kingdom. The SOA resembles a sustainable community in Sandwell health but in not so sustainable in other areas such as housing.
Rank of Living Environment Score Rank was 8,468 in 2004 and then in 2007 it was 9,857 so this means that the living environment in Sandwell is a problem this at present is therefore unsustainable at present.
The Housing In Poor Condition score in 2004 was 0.45 and in 2007 is 0.33 so with the government decent homes standards housing has become more sustainable in Sandwell.The recycling levels have increased to 33% as the domestic and garden waste recycling levels have tripled over 6 years.
The combined Air Quality indicator was 1.43 in 2004 and rose to 1.67 in 2007This shows that the pollution in Sandwell is raising and therefore it sustainability can be questioned but on the information from the SOA I don’t feel at this moment it is sustainable.
30 people in the Sandwell bough alone provideunpaid care 50 hours or more is not sustainable due to the increase of older people living longer and requiring more care.My option is that Sandwell is not very sustainable at present and its growing implantations for the environment will have a good effect on creating a sustainable area.
