11 Brent is a place of contrasts. It is characterised by a sharp divide between the relative affluence of the northern wards and high levels of social and economic deprivation in areas south of the North Circular Road. Although there are also pockets of deprivation in the Northern wards that should not be overlooked, the north of the borough is generally sub-urban in character with an older population whilst the south experiences many of the challenges faced by inner city communities.

Brent shares its boundaries with 7 other boroughs (Barnet, Harrow, Ealing, Hammersmith and Fulham, Kensington and Chelsea, Westminster and Camden) and many Brent residents will use sports facilities across the border, in neighbouring authorities. Population and Populations Projections Brent’s population is growing. Recent figures indicate significant numbers of people moving into the borough creating new emerging communities. Brent also has significant numbers of transient people. Brent is one of only two local authorities serving a population where the majority of people are from Black and Minority Ethnic communities. The GLA estimate Brent’s population was at least 279,200 in 2007 and independent research commissioned by the Council estimates the figure to be nearer 289,000 at March 2007. Population growth in Brent has largely occurred in the south of the borough and is predominantly the result of an increase in the number of young adults, often with pre-school or young children.

However, this figure does not incorporate the impact of additional housing in the borough and the London Plan identifies that Brent will accommodate 11,200 new homes by 2017 with the population therefore expected to grow to over 305,000. These new homes will be focused in five housing growth areas; Wembley, Alperton, Burnt Oak/Colindale, Church End and South Kilburn with at least half of the projected growth occurring in Wembley, Alperton, Burnt Oak/Colindale and South Kilburn are expected to gain 1,000 - 1,500 additional households (2,500 - 3,750 people) and Church End is expected to gain 500 – 750 additional households. Barnet Barnet Currently the wards with the highest population figures are Stonebridge, Kilburn, Mapesbury, Queensbury and Dudden Hill. Stonebridge and Kilburn wards both have the highest population according to GLA estimates with just over 17,000 and 15,000 respectively. Black and Minority Ethnic Groups 54.4% of Brent residents are from black and minority ethnic communities, this compares to approximately 40% of London’s population and 12% of the population of England and Wales. These groups comprise of established Indian, Black Caribbean, Black African and Irish communities as well as emerging Eastern European, Somali, Turkish and Hispanic communities. Brent residents speak over 130 different languages but ethnicity varies by ward. The Asian population tends to be located towards the west of the borough, Chapter Two - A Profile of Brent 12
