75 Cricket Pitches Quantity There are a total of 17 cricket pitches on 11 sites. Eight are local authority pitches, 4 education pitches (all of which are artificial pitches) and 5 are private pitches. There is also a cricket table and outfield at Gibbons Recreation Ground but this is not suitable for club play. At the time of the audit 4 pitches were not laid out and were not assessed (Vale Farm, Preston Park and Maybank Open Space). Table 28: Cricket pitches in Brent Local Authority Education Private 39.

Chapter six Outdoor Sports Facilities Quality The overall quality score for cricket pitches in the borough is 73%, however the local authority pitches average at 67%. Improvements are currently taking place on pitches at Sudbury Court (Vale Farm) and King Edwards VII in Willesden. New cricket pitches will be available at John Billam and Gladstone Recreation Ground. Supply and Demand Cricket is a locally popular sport with participation levels well above the national average. 1.5% of Brent population play cricket which is equivalent to 4,188 people playing cricket in any 4 week period (this figure does not include junior players). Cricket is one of 8 priority sports in the borough. There are currently 10 cricket clubs affiliated to the MCB playing within Brent. A review of pitch bookings in 2005 of Brent Parks Service reveals there are an additional 4 clubs using facilities within Brent that are not affiliated. A survey of cricket clubs conducted in 2003 for the Brent Playing Pitch Strategy found a total of 31 adult teams and 9 junior teams. The average number of players in an adult team is 16 players and 23 players in a junior team. Based on this survey of clubs, the conversion rate (percentage of population playing cricket based on club membership numbers) is just 0.2% which is very low and suggests there may be potentially a large number of Brent cricket players playing outside the borough or that people are playing cricket in clubs that did not respond to the survey. Estimating current demand for cricket pitches based on the 2003 club survey and allowing for a 10% population growth gives a total peak demand for 10 pitches. This demand increases to 11 pitches by 2016 with further population growth. However, this is a minimum figure as latent demand is not accounted for and local demand is expected to be considerably higher. Whilst there appears to sufficient overall supply of cricket pitches to meet minimum demand estimates, community use of the 4 pitches on school grounds will be limited and is therefore given a 0.5 weighting. This gives a total community use provision of 10 pitches. By 2016 there will be shortage of one public cricket pitch to meet minimum demand estimates. There is also the need to provide outdoor cricket nets to help with the development of the sport for training purposes. There is no cricket provision in central and south east areas of the borough and the north of the borough only has cricket pitches on school sites. Gaelic Football Pitches Quantity At the time of the audit there were 3 Gaelic football pitches with an area of 4.8ha including safety margins. All three are within the ownership of Brent Council; 2 in Northwick Park and 1 at Church Lane Recreation Ground. During the summer months, the football pitches at John Billam Sports Ground are laid out for gaelic football. Three pitches were not laid out at the time of audit (Silver Jubilee, GEC Pellat Road and Vale Farm). An additional pitch at Gladstone Park was under construction at the time of the audit.
