65 Table 19: Capacity Ratios – indoor bowls Facility Type Indoor bowls CURRENT PROVISION Quality The bowling facility at the Century Bowling club was first opened in 1928 and was resurfaced in 1990. This will affect the quality and capacity of the facility. Accessibility Map 37 indicates the location of the facility and its 1.6km catchment area. This shows that 75% of the borough is outside of this area. Map 37: Catchment map – indoor bowls Indoor Bowls Facilities TOTAL (rinks) CAPACITY RATIO ( Facility type per 1000 population) 2001 (263507) 2011 (293900) 2016 (305400) London average (2001) England average (2001) The map below indicates the walk time to the nearest indoor bowls centre. The red areas around Harlesden, Dudden Hill and Dollis Hill show the greatest travel time by walking (at least 60 minutes) to the nearest indoor bowls centre. This map includes provision amongst neighbouring boroughs and therefore travel time in the South East of the Borough reduces due to their proximity to a facility in Westminster.

Chapter Six Indoor Sports Facility Provision Supply and Demand Active Places Power local supply and demand balance tool identifies that 46.11% of the demand for indoor bowls within Brent is met through this one facility. If Brent were to meet the demand in the borough another 6 rink indoor bowls facilities would have to be accommodated, but this tool does not take into account facilities provided in neighbouring boroughs in Westminster and north in Harrow. However, demand for bowls is falling and a further rink would therefore not be required by 2016. Indoor Squash Courts Squash was most popular in the 1970’s. However, demand has decreased in recent years and many squash courts have been developed to provide alternative facilities such as children’s play areas or gyms. Quantity The borough hosts 7 squash courts in two locations. Two courts are located at Wembley and Sudbury tennis, squash and social club and 5 courts at Vale Farm sports centre. Accessibility Both squash sites are located in Sudbury ward within close proximity to one another. This means that the majority of the borough’s population is not within a 20 minute walk time to any squash facilities. Map 39: Catchment map – squash Location of Squash Courts 1 2 Legend Pay & Play Squash Courts Registered Membership Use Squash Courts Squash Courts Ward Boundaries Supply and Demand Vale Farm Sports Centre receives over 8,000 squash visits per year which relates to just over 20 visits per day which, spread over 5 courts, equals only 2 matches per court per day suggesting the demand isn’t there to cover the current provision. However, squash courts can provide multi use spaces for a variety of activities and still provide for squash when required. Quality The facilities at Vale Farm have recently be refurbished which will increase capacity further and may attract more usage. Indoor Tennis Quantity The borough has no specialist indoor tennis courts although sports halls are used for this, particularly for junior tennis provision. The capacity ratio for indoor courts in London produces a score of 0.03 tennis courts per 1000 of the population meaning that Brent would need an 8 court indoor tennis centre to meet the average in London. However, this doesn’t take into consideration the fact that all neighbouring Boroughs have indoor tennis facilities which may cover Brent’s demand for indoor tennis courts.
