105 Partnerships The delivery of the sporting infrastructure mentioned within this strategy must have innovative solutions to the current problems, and new partnerships should be identified in order to sustain and develop facility provision. The potential partners that could help deliver the strategy recommendations are shown below: • Central Government (e.g. through new initiatives, 2012 legacy plans) • London Boroughs / neighbouring Boroughs • Sport England • National Lottery and other funding streams • National Governing Bodies of Sport • Regional Agencies • Health Service • Commercial Enterprises • Housing Developers and Associations • Non local authority Sport, Health and Fitness Providers • Crime Reduction Authorities • London Borough of Brent Council Departments - Education (including Building Schools for the Future and other capital initiatives) - Housing Departments - Planning Department (including section 106 requirements • Clubs • Local Community The 2012 Olympics and Paralympics present a unique opportunity for sport to be used as a showcase and deliver a sporting legacy. This may provide new partnership streams which previously might not have been available. Resources Increasing demands through increasing populations and government regulations has added pressure on public services. This has meant that money towards facility improvements has been spread across the services and large sums of money available for projects have been restricted. It is important to identify new sources of funding and partnerships in order to bring about improvements to the sports facilities. This may mean that the council has to join up approaches to get the desired goals.
• London Borough of Brent Capital Funds • Prudential Borrowing • Capital receipts from sale of land • Site development (in the case of Bridge Park it has been identified that this could be funded through housing development on the site.) • External funding (such as the lottery) • Section 106 (increasing amount of money generated for sport) • Joint Ventures between London Boroughs • Commercial Enterprise • Sponsorship • Local Community Funds • 2012 legacy, this may bring about new funding streams previously not available • Sports Clubs who may have access to more external funding • Revenue Support from the council to help with management of facilities • Sports National Governing Bodies • Building Schools for the Future (strategic need not just school needs) • Regeneration/Enterprise Fund • Public/Private Partnerships • Trusts • Partnership Delivery through education/health etc. • Opportunities presented by planning policy changes to fund major sporting infrastructure developments. • Cultural Industries/Art funding streams Building Schools for the Future The Government has pledged to replace or renew all secondary schools, including special schools, over the next 10 to 15 years under the programme name of Chapter Nine Delivery Building Schools for the Future (BSF). It is anticipated that any new build schools will be funded using the PFI process, with refurbishment funded by traditional capital funding mechanisms. This programme has a major part to play in building new sports facilities. With less funding being available through the lottery and Sport England, the Building Schools for the Future programme may contain the only substantial source of investment that is needed to improve and provide new sports facilities. It is vital that this strategy takes into account the BSF programme and it helps to dictate what sports facilities are factored into the building of a new or renewed school. It is important that sport has an input into the BSF process from the outset to allow for the correct facilities to be strategically placed into areas of need that will serve the whole community not just the school. Community use is a key component to the BSF programme and this needs to be maximised. This means that decisions on the design of the building need to be considered carefully. The BSF programme is limited to providing sports facilities such as sports halls, dance/gymnastics studios, health and fitness, synthetic turf pitches, MUGA’s, tennis courts, netball courts, basketball courts, all weather cricket wickets, nets and pitches, grass football pitches, rugby pitches, and athletics facilities. The BSF programme is reluctant to provide facilities such as swimming pools as they are costly to maintain and manage. However there are opportunities for the Local Authority to add capital to the programme in order to get additional facilities such as swimming pools, separate area for changing, and reception areas to enable the facilities to be open to the public at the same time the school is in use. It is also important to consider running costs and schools may need support with running costs if they are to provide community use to less mainstream provision. Dual use facilities are growing in popularity, however the emphasis needs to be placed on design to ensure the facilities are functional for the school and provide community access. The primary focus of the BSF will be on geographical areas with particularly low levels of pupil achievement, attainment and high levels of deprivations. Therefore, the investment will start with those schools where standards are lowest and the greatest impact on standards can be achieved. Within the borough three schools have been identified as priorities and these are Alperton Community School, John Kelly Technology College and Queens Park Community School. The locations of the schools are shown on the map on the next page. Chapter Nine - Delivery 106
