Map 8: Public Transport Accessibility Levels in Brent Vale Farm sports Centre 17 Bridge Park Community Leisure Centre Cycle links There are currently 9 London Cycling Network routes that pass through the borough and these can be seen on the map below. The government’s emphasis on green travel has raised cycling onto the political agenda and meant that there is increasing amounts of funding for cycling projects. The council has improved cycle routes within the borough and the local routes can be seen on the map below.

Since 2003/04 (PSA 1 baseline year) the borough has achieved a 15% reduction in its British Crime Survey (BCS) offences. This is the equivalent of 3,248 fewer offences than in 2003/04. Brent has higher crime levels in relation to the national average and is about mid-way point in the crime rates per 1000 of the population for the London Boroughs. However total crime is falling and in the period January 07 – January 08 total crime fell to 28,170 from 31,555 the previous year. The most deprived areas of Brent witness the most amount of crime in locations such as Stonebridge, Harlesden, Kilburn, Tokyngton and Wembley Central wards.
Chapter Two A profile of Brent Brent’s Sports Participation Profile It is important to establish participation figures for sport and physical activities as it has implications on facility demand and may help identify any shortfalls in provision. It is also essential to analyse participation levels to provide further information on issues and factors that may be affecting participation and ways of addressing any problems identified. Active People Survey The Active People Survey (2006) conducted by Sport England provides information on adult participation levels in sport and physical activity within the Borough. It is a nationwide survey based on a telephone interview with 1000 people per authority taken over the period of one year. The survey therefore allows the Council to compare itself with other authorities across the country. The Active People Survey (APS) also provides useful data on the types of sports/physical activities people are participating in as well as levels of volunteering in sport, club membership, levels of sport tuition, and satisfaction 0x30 1x30 2x30 3x30 Zero days a week x 30 minutes moderate participation 4-7 days a month x 30 minutes moderate participation 8-11 days a month x30 minutes moderate participation At least 3 days a week x30 minutes moderate participaton All 56.50% 9.80% 6.39% 18.00% Gender Male 52.30% 8.70% 6.70% 22.30% Female 60.70% 10.90% 6.10% 13.80% Age Groups 16-24 39.10% 12.80% 8.00% 29.60% 25-34 50.10% 13.40% 6.90% 16.90% 35-44 54.50% 9.40% 8.70% 18.10% 45-54 55.00% 8.70% 5.90% 18.60% 55-64 64.40% 8.20% 4.10% 15.70% 65-74 80.30% 3.50% 4.80% 7.80% 75-84 89.30% 2.30% 0.00% 8.50% 85+ 78.00% 11.20% 0.00% 10.80% Ethnicity White 51.80% 13.00% 6.30% 19.30% Non White 61.10% 6.70% 6.40% 16.80% Limiting disability 76.60% 7.80% 3.40% 4.20% No limiting disability 54.00% 10.00% 3.20% 19.70% Source: levels with local sports provision. Participation in Physical Activities by Gender, Age Groups and Ethnicity According to APS (2006) only 18% of Brent adults participate in 3 x 30 minutes of physical activity per week. This is a low participation rate with only Barking & Dagenham and Newham having lower participation rates in London. The 3 x 30 minutes London average is 21.3% and the national average is 21%. Nationally Brent were placed 34th out of 354 authorities with 1 being the lowest rates of 3 x 30 participation. Because Brent has such low participation rates the data resulting from more detailed analysis is classified as statistically unreliable but it gives a broad indication of more detailed participation rates. It is important to note however that Willesden Sports Centre was closed for redevelopment during the year that the survey was undertaken and this may have affected participation levels. The APS survey will be repeated annually so changes in participation can be monitored, with the next available results in 2009.
