Appendix A: Cricket - Assessment of Needs (Stages B & C) The London Borough of Ealing Playing Pitch Strategy 2017-2031 Appendix A - CRICKET Assessment of Needs Appendix A: Cricket - Assessment of Needs (Stages B & C) The findings of the assessment of supply of cricket facilities in the London Borough of Ealing is summarised in this section. Nine of the thirteen (69%) affiliated cricket clubs based in the borough and Middlesex Cricket have contributed to the assessment of need through online survey returns, a cricket club forum, and meetings on site visits or by email/phone. 1. Cricket Supply (Step 1) Cricket Pitches in the London Borough of Ealing In the 2015 season, 29 adult grass cricket pitches and 7 non-turf cricket pitches were identified as maintained and available for community cricket at 20 playing field sites in the London Borough of Ealing. The sites currently operational for community cricket comprise: Twelve club grounds - i.e. grounds with access restricted to club members and guests. These are in diverse ownership including sites owned by community cricket clubs (e.g. Ealing Cricket Club), by community organisations with cricket sections (e.g. Brentham Club, SKLP Sports & Community Centre, Spike's Bridge Park run by London Tigers), by the private sector (e.g. The Park Club home ground of Acton Cricket Club), by playing field charities (e.g. London Playing Fields in Greenford), by an individual (Trailfinders Sports Club) and by Ealing Council (e.g. Brentfield Cricket Ground leased to Ealing Cricket Club, two sites in Acton leased to Old Actonians Sports Association, Shepherd's Bush Cricket Club Ground leased to Virgin and sub-let to the club, and Osterley Cricket Ground in Tentelow Lane Southall leased to Osterley Cricket Club). Responsibility for maintenance at these sites lies with the club, sports association or private owner i.e. not with the borough council. Five Ealing council operated sites - with open public access, Ealing Central Sports Ground, Islip Manor Park, North Acton Playing Fields, Perivale Park and Rectory Park. A grounds maintenance contractor (currently Amey) maintains the pitches at these open sites on behalf of the borough council. Three school sites - with restricted access i.e. Drayton Manor High School (an academy school in Hanwell), St Benedict's High School (an independent school in Perivale Lane, Greenford) and Durston House School playing field in Swyncombe Avenue on the Hounslow border where community use is limited to occasional hires by the Ealing-based Northfields Cricket Club for friendly Sunday fixtures. Responsibility for maintenance of these pitches lies with the schools. In addition to these sites available and in regular community use in 2015, a further two cricket pitches have no current community use: Dormers Wells High School has a non-turf pitch. Currently, there are no community hires of this facility. However, the school has expressed interest in securing a club link partner. The Glaxo Smith Kline Company Sports Ground in Swyncombe Avenue (W5 4DR) at the southern edge of the borough on the boundary with Hounslow has no availability for use by community teams. The cricket pitch serves as the home ground for GSK corporate cricket teams playing friendly short forms of the game midweek evenings and at weekends. www.continuumleisure.co.uk P a g e | 1 The London Borough of Ealing Playing Pitch Strategy 2017-2031 Appendix A - CRICKET Assessment of Needs Junior Pitches In general, the clubs with junior sections set aside one strip on the main square for junior matches requiring shorter dimensions and/or use of the non- turf pitches available on their grounds. The Old Actonians pitch at Boddington Gardens has several strips at the end of the square suitable for junior use. At most sites, Kwik cricket is generally played on temporary pitches set up on a mown strip in the outfield (or several strips around the outfield in the event of Kwik cricket tournaments and festivals). Closed Sites One site and pitch has been removed from the supply since the last facility strategy was undertaken. This pitch was removed due to a perceived lack of demand from low bookings and a recommendation that council provided pitch supply is concentrated at multi-pitch sites with suitable ancillary facilities: o Longfield Playing Field – This single pitch site without changing provision has failed to attract club or team interest in hires for two seasons and was therefore taken out of the Council’s stock of maintained cricket facilities. It is located quite close to the cricket provision at Ealing Central Sports Ground, Perivale Park, Trailfinders Sports Ground and St Benedict’s School. Non-Turf Pitches (NTPs) In the younger age groups (U10 to U13), some hardball match play takes place on non-turf pitches (NTPs). NTPs are also used for training and adult play (e.g. occasional teams T20 games). NTPs are currently provided at the following nine sites across the borough, with new NTPs with community access planned for enhancements at both Durdan's Park and William Perkin High Schools: Brentfield Cricket Ground (Poor quality) Dormers Wells High School (Good quality - no current community use) Ealing Cricket Club (Standard quality, separate from main square so two games can be run concurrently) North Acton Playing Fields x 2 (Installed in 2014) Old Actonians at Boddington Gardens (Good quality) SKLP Sports Ground (Standard quality) Spikes Bridge Park (Good - installed in 2015) Southall Recreation Ground (Good - installed in 2014, used extensively for informal use and by local schools) St Benedict's School Sports Ground, Greenford (Good quality) There is also a very poor quality NTP at Northolt High School that has no history of community use. www.continuumleisure.co.uk P a g e | 2 The London Borough of Ealing Playing Pitch Strategy 2017-2031 Appendix A - CRICKET Assessment of Needs Non-Turf Practice Nets Most of the cricket club home grounds in the borough have functioning outdoor practice net systems. Figure 1 – Outdoor net locations and quality Location Number Quality Brentham Club 2 Good Ealing Cricket Club 5 Good Old Actonians Association (Gunnersbury) 5 Good Old Actonians at Boddington Gardens 2 Adequate Osterley Cricket Club 2 Very Poor (need replacing) Park Club (Acton) 3 Good Shepherds Bush Cricket club 3 Adequate SKLP Sports Ground 2 Poor (need replacing) Spikes Bridge Park 3 Good St Benedicts School Playing Fields 5 Good Trailfinders Sports Club 3 Adequate None of the open access sites in the borough now offer non-turf cricket practice net systems. The costs of maintaining and inspecting nets systems on open access sites and ensuring their safe use on unsupervised sites are considered to be the main reasons for the lack of these facilities. Indoor Practice Nets A number of the clubs consulted commented that Indoor Practice nets were hard to access especially within Ealing with the Lords Cricket School in St John's Wood and the Middlesex Indoor School in Finchley the nearest high quality provision although hire charges at these facilities can act as a deterrent to use by some community clubs. St Benedict's (independent) School has two indoor nets in its sports hall but there is no community access. Cricket nets are available at almost all sports halls in Ealing, however indoor sports hall space is in high demand across the borough so the main constraint is competing programming demands for year round activities such as badminton and basketball, whereas demand for indoor cricket nets is generally limited to peak evening or weekend slots from January to March. It is understood that Harrow Cricket Club, from outside the borough, hire nets in the sports hall at William Perkin High School on Sundays. Facilities for Non-Traditional Forms of Cricket The strategic aim of Middlesex Cricket is to sustainably grow cricket participation in the county. In furtherance of this aim, Middlesex Cricket encourages the provision of suitable facilities in accessible locations for playing non-traditional forms of cricket ranging from non-turf pitches (NTPs) for organised cup and league games of Last Man Stands (games of 75 minutes approx. for teams of 8 players) down to hard-court Multi Use Games Areas (MUGAs) for www.continuumleisure.co.uk P a g e | 3 The London Borough of Ealing Playing Pitch Strategy 2017-2031 Appendix A - CRICKET Assessment of Needs informal games of Cage Cricket using a softball or 'tapeball' (a tennis ball wrapped in tape). The Council has responded positively to this trend since the last assessment of pitch needs in 2010 by installing MUGAs that are heavily used for Cage Cricket in Southall Park and Southall Recreation Ground. Within the London Borough of Ealing, Last Man Stands (LMS) competitions often take place on the NTP at Old Actonians and North Acton Playing Fields. In addition there are a number of non-traditional midweek leagues taking place at several Council grounds including North Acton Playing Fields, Ealing Central, Perivale Park and Rectory Park. Cricket is particularly popular within the large and growing South Asian communities resident in the borough, located primarily in Southall and across the Northolt border into the Harrow area. A growing number of informal (un-constituted) teams play short forms of the game in competitive leagues such as the Tamil ETCL Premier Leagues, established in 2010 and organising games on Sundays throughout the summer mainly on public pitches. Kay Plus Cricket Club and Southall Lankians Cricket Club - both with two men's league teams currently - are the main examples identified in the borough of this new type of club that operates on a less formal basis than the traditional cricket club model. These clubs do not own or lease a home ground and clubhouse facility and play home fixtures where they are able to hire a suitable pitch and changing rooms on a season-by-season block booked basis or weekly pay and play basis.

  • 30Hr Childcare: Analysis of Potential Demand and Sufficiency in Ealing
    30hr Childcare: Analysis of potential demand and sufficiency in Ealing. Summer 2016 Introduction: Calculating the number of eligible children in each Ward of the borough The methodology utilised by the DfE to predict the number of eligible children in the borough cannot be replicated at Ward level (refer to page 14: Appendix 1 for DfE methodology) Therefore the calculations for the borough have been calculated utilising the most recent data at Ward level concerning the proportions of parents working, the estimates of 3& 4 year population and the number of those 4yr old ineligible as they are attending school. The graph below illustrates the predicted lower and upper estimates for eligible 3&4 year olds for each Ward Page 1 of 15 Executive Summary The 30hr eligibility criteria related to employment, income and the number of children aged 4 years attending reception class (who are ineligible for the funding) makes it much more likely that eligible children will be located in Wards with higher levels of employment and income (potentially up to a joint household income of £199,998) and lower numbers of children aged 4years in reception class. Although the 30hr. childcare programme may become an incentive to work in the future, in terms of the immediate capital bid, the data points to investment in areas which are quite different than the original proposal, which targeted the 5 wards within the Southall area. The 5 Southall Wards are estimated to have the fewest number of eligible children for the 30hr programme. The top 5 Wards estimated to have the highest number of eligible children are amongst the least employment and income deprived Wards in Ealing with the lowest numbers of children affected by income deprivation.

  • Valuing Ealing's Urban Trees
    Valuing Ealing’s Urban Trees EALING I-TREE ECO TECHNICAL REPORT Report Published in 2018 ©Trees for Cities 2018 Designed by Arup FOREWORD Ealing’s trees are an integral part of the borough’s character, from the 400 year old woodlands to the Cherry blossom-lined streets; even the borough’s logo sports a tree. Trees can play an important role in promoting mental and physical wellbeing, adding colour and beauty to the built urban landscape, reducing the heat island effect and they have the ability to absorb large quantities of water, to help reduce the risk of flooding. Ealing’s trees are becoming increasingly valuable as we face challenges of climate change and population growth. The Council’s vision is to increase and enhance the whole of the urban tree stock for the enjoyment of current and future generations and to ensure that trees remain a defining feature of the splendid suburban borough that is Ealing. One of the overarching themes of the new draft London Plan (December 2017) is creating a healthy city. The Plan suggests that green infrastructure, including trees, must be planned, designed, and managed in a more integrated way to ensure Londoners reap the multitude of benefits it provides, including mental and physical health and wellbeing. The Plan emphases that the urban forest is an important part of London’s green infrastructure and a major asset to the urban environment. This report helps us better understand the importance of Ealing’s trees and woodlands. The economic and social value of trees has become increasingly evident across all of London and has been highlighted in the London i-Tree Assessment and the Natural Capital Account for London’s public parks and green spaces.
