The aim of this directory is to provide local information on sport and physical activity clubs, groups and activities in the Burngreave area. Did you know? On a local level, physical inactivity is estimated to be causing 41 premature deaths per year in the Burngreave area! But the good news is: You can significantly reduce this risk by doing the recommended minimum amount of physical activity to benefit health. That is: • 30 minutes of moderate exercise, 5 times a week for adults and • 60 minutes of moderate exercise, 7 times a week for children A wide range of activities can make up this activity including walking to school or the shops, gardening, sport, housework, dancing and cycling. Please note: All information is correct at the time of going to print. It is the responsibility of the parent / guardian to ensure that coaches are suitably qualified and police checked, prior to participating.

  • I Would Like to Be Considered for the Position of Overview and Scrutiny
    AGENDA ITEM: 10(b) Page nos. 100 – 145 Meeting Cabinet Date 8 June 2009 OPEN SPACES IN BARNET REVIEW REPORT OF THE CLEANER, GREENER, TRANSPORT & DEVELOPMENT OVERVIEW AND SCRUTINY COMMITTEE 100 1. SCOPE OF THE REVIEW 1.1 On 16th February 2008 the committee concluded the Parks in Barnet review. At the Cleaner, Greener, Transport and Development OSC meeting on 16th February 2009, the committee considered Councillor Julie Johnson’s Member’s item – “As I said in the council chamber at the last full council meeting I would be asking the committee to agree to extend the parks review to include open spaces. Open spaces are an integral part of Barnet’s green environment and obviously all members of this committee are well aware of how important these are to their own constituents. However some are under utilized for various reasons whilst many such as the Welsh Harp Reservoir and Scratch Woods for example are popular and well used. Criterion- 1) What level of public use is made of open space? 2) Is there any local or community involvement ( friends group, wildlife watch etc)? 3) Is the standard of maintenance acceptable? 4) How well is the space publicised and is access clear and convenient? 5) Is public use encouraged by paths, bridleways, way-marking tree identification, picnic areas, organised walks and events? 6) What public facilities already exist i.e. sports equipment etc? But do all open spaces meet this criteria and if not is there more we could do to make open spaces a success story in Barnet? Can I recommend to the committee that members of the review working party visit a minimum of three designated open spaces each? Councillor Andrew McNeil and Mr.
