DESIGN INSTALLATION 40
IN THE SHADE THE SPORTS PITCH We took the boys’ request to Tower Hamlets Homes and the project was commissioned by the council to build a pair of self-illuminating goal posts made from light tubes for the disused Old Nichol Street sports pitch on the Boundary Estate. <strong>The</strong> sports pitch is a self-contained play area built in 2009. It is well placed with flats overlooking it and their entrances nearby. But since being installed, this costly investment has barely been used; by 6pm in November it is so dark one can barely make out the trees – the only light source is provided by glare spilling over from a neighbouring shop. <strong>The</strong> pitch is an ideal size for five-a-side football but, according to local residents and shop owners, its most frequent users are drug dealers, prostitutes and late night drinkers who use it as a toilet. Tower Hamlets Homes, the local Police and community groups all got behind the idea of installing a permanent light tube set-up as the first real node in a Night-Time Neighbourhood Network, turning a venue for anti-social behaviour into a useful amenity for local boys to play. 41
