77 Quality The Church Lane Recreation Ground was scored as average (55%) and the 2 Northwick Park pitches were scored as good with scores of 84% and 70% Supply and Demand Gaelic football teams play at 7 of the 8 pitches available. The new pitch at Gladstone Park will allow for club expansion. Neasden Gaels operating at Silver Jubilee recreation ground wish to expand to cater for gaelic soccer and camogie. Synthetic Turf Pitches (STPs) Synthetic Turf Pitches (STPs) are all weather surfaces for pitch sports, in particular hockey and football. STPs do not include non turf surfaces such as concrete, tarmac or Redgra. Sport England minimum dimensions for STPs are 75m x 45m. In addition to full sized STPs, Brent has a number of smaller synthetic pitches for 7 and 5-a-side football. Site Name Ownership Changing Facilities Total Score % 6. Capital City Academy Quantity and Quality There are seven sites hosting STP’s in Brent. All except Wembley High Technical College have changing room facilities available. All are in good condition, with the exception of Vale Farm although plans are in place to replace the fencing which will significantly improve it’s quality score. A commercial five a side soccer centre at Goals in Alperton provides 14 five a side courts and 1 seven a side court, all in excellent condition with high quality changing facilities.

Four STP’s are available on a pay and play basis and three other sites are available through sports clubs / community organisation bookings. Two of the STPs are 3rd Generation and not suitable for competitive hockey and two further small sized STPs are suitable for football only. As the map below illustrates, the South of the borough is within 20 minutes walking distance of a STP. Central and Eastern areas of the borough have no STP provision. Map 45 – Catchment maps – Synthetic Turf Pitches Location of Synthetic Turf Pitches Supply and Demand The FA guidelines recommend 1 STP per 50,000 population. Brent has 5 STPs which meet the Sport England criteria, 4 of which are in good condition, so this is slightly below the recommended FA provision. Three of the STPs are on school sites, 1 of which does not provide any community use. To assess the level of supply of STPs in the borough, Brent capacity ratio can be compared to the London average. The 5 STPs that meet Sport England’s criteria are included in the analysis.

CAPACITY RATIO ( Facility type per 1000 population) 2001 (263507) 2011 (293900) Brent’s capacity ratio in 2001 was slightly below the London average, whilst this was a marginal deficit this will increase to the equivalent deficiency of 1 pitch by 2016 if no further STPs are provided with population growth. Map 46: Travel time map – STP’s The map above illustrates that people across the centre of the borough from South West to North East are more that 20 minutes from a synthetic turf pitch. The wards particularly affected are Alperton, Wembley Symbol Range (minutes) 1.62 - 8.286 8.287 - 14.952 14.953 - 21.618 21.619 - 28.284 28.285 - 34.95 Central, Tokyngton, Barn Hill, Welsh Harp, and parts of Queensbury and Kenton.
