Huddersfield Town

Before I moved to Northampton I lived in the biggest town in England called Huddersfield. (In west Yorkshire) looking back at Huddersfield I think it is a sustainable town, the reason being is because everyone walks everywhere. It seemed everyone was so fit. The roads where never ever full of traffic unless there were a football match on. . This would affect the whole town.

Huddersfield does not really have much to offer besides a few bars all on the same road. There are few schools with very little activities for children who live in Huddersfield.

Huddersfield doesn’t really have much history left to it because old houses have been knocked down and replaced them with modern houses which don’t seem to be selling... So buildings sights are left at a stand still, which then makes the town look worse then what it already is.

Huddersfield’s SOA states that there are 48,121 1 person living in an household as you can see below

I believe in Huddersfield the reason for high crime is because there is nothing for the children who then turn in to adults have nothing to do. That is why there are shocking results like this below

Huddersfield still has a lot of sustainable development to go in order for it to be a better town to live in.
