Market Harborough was a feature on East Midlands Today last week. Dominic Heale, co-presenter of the show, visited the town to interview business persons and residents – including one with the director at Naylors Estate Agents, William Naylor.
Market Harborough survey
The visit was to find out more about Market Harborough’s quality of life, following a report which found the town to be the most sustainable of eleven similarly sized towns.
The report was commissioned by Sustainable Harborough, with support from Harborough District Council, and was designed to identify the town’s strengths as well as any areas for improvement.
The similar market towns which Market Harborough were compared to included Stamford, Melton Mowbray, Ely and Stratford upon Avon. Each of the towns was measured against a range of specific criteria, such as how well designed, run and serviced the town is, safety and inclusivity, environmental issues and economic activity.
Market Harborough was independently identified as the most sustainable of the 11 
towns surveyed. The town also scored highly in two recent surveys; the Halifax Quality of Life Survey 2015 and The Best Places to Live in Britain by the Sunday Times.
William Naylor commented “The wonderful thing about Market Harborough is that it’s an easy sell. People want to live here. These surveys are great for the town, they show just what a great place this is to live, they certainly makes my job a lot easier! Demand for houses in the area is so high because of the criteria analysed in this survey”
