The provision of
additional ‘pay and
play’ health and fitness
facilities in the Kilburn
area potentially through
the redevelopment of
Charteris Sports Centre
Provision of 652 Health
and Fitness stations to
meet current unmet
demand and further
175 by 2016 to meet
expected demand from
population growth.
Sports Halls
4-6 courts
New and upgraded
Sports Halls equivalent to
12-15 courts
At or near current location. Current facility is aging, poor mix
of functions and will become
increasingly expensive to maintain
and satisfaction will reduce but
public access is good. Area of
high deprivation, poor health, low
income, large young population
enhances need for an affordable
pay and play sports facility.
Current location of
Charteris sports centre or
nearby in Kilburn.
Across the Borough but
in particular the Northern
periphery of the borough
Unmet demand for pay and play
health and fitness provision in the
area. Current building is restricted
by size and structure. Only to
progress if pay and play sports hall
provision made elsewhere in the
vicinity e.g. St Augustine’s school.
To satisfy significant levels of unmet
demand and ensure affordable
accessible facilities in areas of
greater deprivation. To make sure
all parts of the borough are within
a 1.6 km walking catchment of a
health and fitness facility.
Provision by the local authority in
areas where affordable pay and
play access is essential to enable
use by the local community.
North of the Borough To increase supply of pay and
play provision in the north of the
borough. Quality of current sports
halls is poor.
Central / East / South of the
borough
publicly accessible provision.
Quality of current sports halls
is poor. Additional demand
coming from proposed housing
developments. New Provision
should have affordable community
access arrangements. Upgrading of
old sports halls needed to increase
capacity.
Synthetic Turf Pitch Central of the borough. Lack of provision in the area, parts
of Tokyngton/ Barnhill/ Welsh Harp
has to travel over 20 minutes to
a STP. Need for affordable pay
and play provision in the borough.
Increase in population in this area
means there will be additional
demand for this facility.
