71 From the site survey the symptoms of poor conditions in local authority sites included water-logged pitches indicating poor drainage, poor condition of goalmouths, uneven surfacing, high proportion of weeds, damage caused by vehicles and horses being driven/ridden across the pitches, collapsed drains, golf divots and large stones and bricks observed at surface level. Floodlighting There are currently no floodlit grass pitches in the borough, other than ones on private pitch sites. There are decommissioned floodlights at Alperton Sports Ground and the former London Wasps rugby training ground at Vale Farm, Sudbury Avenue. All Pitches Changing Facilities Only some of Brent’s playing pitches have changing room facilities. The changing rooms that are available were also assessed in accordance with the Sport England VQA. The results are shown in the table below. Table 23: Changing Facilities Quality Ratings Rating No. of LA sites No. of Education sites No. of Private sites Excellent 3 2 3 Good 3 3 1 Average 3 1 4 Poor 1 0 1 Very Poor 1 0 1 Total 11 7 10 A total of 11 local authority changing facilities were assessed, equating to one third of Brent sports pitches having changing rooms available for public use. Just over half are in good or excellent condition with Gladstone Park, Willesden Sports Ground and GEC Sports Ground rated the highest. Two were rated as poor; Silver Jubilee Park and Tokyngton Recreation Ground. Seven of the 22 education facilities have changing facilities, most of which are in good condition. Two (Claremont High School and JFS) were rated as being in excellent condition, More than three quarters of the private playing pitches have changing room facilities available, which are mainly of average condition. Three of the facilities, at the Pavilion Stonebridge, Goals at Alperton Sports Ground and Wembley Cricket Club were rated as excellent.
Chapter six Outdoor Sports Facilities Football Pitches Across the borough there are a total of 18 senior football pitches, 47 junior pitches and 5 mini soccer pitches. These are broken down by ownership in the following table. The definition of junior and senior pitches is loosely defined and for the purposes of this study, pitches of 100m or less in length have been assessed as being junior pitches, even if senior teams primarily use them. Table 24: Total Number of Football Pitches in Brent Ownership Senior Junior Mini Soccer Local Authority 12 22 2 Education 5 19 2 Private 1 6 1 Total 18 47 5 The total area of football pitches in the Borough is 66.7ha, in which the table below shows this by football pitch type and ownership. The number of pitches is based on the pitches in active use and not pitches that were not marked out e.g. pitches at Gladstone Park and King Edward VII Recreation Ground, Willesden which are being improved and not currently marked out, so were not assessed and are not included in this audit.
