South London was the area where i spent most of my childhood, Peckham, Brixton, Surry Quays all areas back then with high rates of crimes and dangerous outgoing activities. During my stay in South London i spent most of my stay in a sort of council flat and looking back at it now none of the areas fits in the criteria of 'Sustainable Development'. Reasons due to the fact that litter populated the area more than citizens, especially in the area of 'Peckham'. My stay in Peckham is one not to forget as a lot went on, however Peckham is definitely not 'Sustainable'. Especially on every Saturday as there would be a massive 'Market Trading' where everyone will come down on every Saturday in order to purchase items such as fish, meats and everyday food items. These event happening every Saturday means there are more cars coming in and out of town resulting in polluted air etc.
THE HEART OF ESSEX = DAGENHAM TOWN
Dagenham Town is now my 'FAMILY HOME'. Dagenham is where i would be at if not in Northampton. Dagenham is a very nice, bright and quiet town when the youths decides. The area is full of joy which is yet to be revealed as its under a lot of construction. Comparing Dagenham to Northampton, i prefer Dagenham. Dagenham can be seen to have its 'Sustainble' time as more people in the town practice 'Recyling' even I do my part when back home. The recyling back in Dagenham now seems to be a daily routine, compared to my stay in Northampton as i seem never to have time or even to think about it.
EASTBROKE is closer to my house, only 5-7mins walk. The area is owned to the youths of Dagenham as they have populated the area with their silly ignorant acts, and because of their attitude they make Eastbroke not 'Sustainable'. However not to be judgmental its not only the youths to take blame all citizens are too.

Eastbroke not entirely a negative and bad place to live. Although Racism can sometime erupt out of nowhere as the BMP as some local support from most citizen in 'Barking & Dagenham' but mostly Dagenham. However the crime rate is not has bad as other area in London.
