INTRODUCTION Introduction 1.1 In March 2004, Lewes District Council (the Council) appointed PMP to review the outdoor playing space in the District. 1.2 The key objectives of the study were to: • undertake a full playing pitch strategy, using the Playing Pitch Methodology (PPM, Sport England’s recommended approach) to cover the four main pitch sports; football, rugby, cricket and hockey • undertake supply and demand assessments for tennis, bowls, athletics and stoolball • consult with the local community in order to identify their expectations and needs for outdoor playing space • update the Council’s audit of children’s play facilities and to comment on areas of shortfall • provide information to inform decisions and determine future development proposals in Lewes District. 1.3 The playing pitch methodology is primarily concerned with voluntary participation in competitive association football (referred to in this document as ‘football’), cricket, rugby and hockey, by adults and young people. It presents the key findings arising from extensive survey work and consultation, highlighting areas of both concern and opportunity. 1.4 In addition, although not generally included within playing pitch strategies, the Council also requested that facility provision for tennis, bowls, athletics and stoolball be explored. 1.5 The final element of outdoor equipped and non- equipped informal/formal play space investigates changes in provision compared with the Council’s Topic Paper published in 2000. It is important to note that this section does not include open space such as down land or beach frontage but focuses on three distinct categories; equipped play space for under 12’s, equipped space for over 12’s and grass areas suitable for informal play. 1.6 The following key areas are covered within this document: • the current picture – a review of current participation trends and playing space provision in England, at national and local levels • methodology – a summary of the research process • supply and demand – an overview of the playing pitch resource and pitch sport activity in Lewes District • an application of Sport England’s Playing Pitch Methodology for the four main pitch sports; football, cricket, rugby and hockey • an analysis of activity and pitch provision against national standards, where applicable, or comparison with local provision for tennis, athletics, stoolball and bowls • an update of outdoor informal/equipped play space A Report for Lewes District Council Page 1 LEWES DISTRICT OUTDOOR PLAYING SPACE REVEW 1. INTRODUCTION • key issues, recommendations and priorities for the future based on development of the main issues arising from the supply and demand analysis, consideration of other key factors such as the implications of local Sports Development Initiatives, the Active Sports Development Plans, the varying needs of the Council. 1.7 Provision is analysed on a district wide basis and is also considered at sub-area and parish level. For the purposes of this study we have used the five Area Partnerships, which are Lewes, Seaford, Newhaven, Peacehaven/Telscombe and rural Lewes as the sub areas. A Report for Lewes District Council Page 2 SECTION 2 THE CURRENT PICTURE LEWES DISTRICT OUTDOOR PLAYING SPACE REVEW 2: THE CURRENT PICTURE The current picture Introduction 2.1 This section outlines the current situation both nationally and locally with regards to outdoor playing space provision. The following aspects are discussed: • wider national policy developments • national trends in outdoor playing space provision • current trends in sports participation • significant regional developments • the local context. Wider National Policy Game Plan (Dec 2002) 2.2 Published jointly by the Prime Minister's Strategy Unit and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport it sets out to ‘combat the couch potato culture’ and improve our international sporting performance. It urges a shake-up of England’s sporting structures to: • increase the levels of mass participation in sport and fitness activities • improve the development of young sporting talent and provide better support for our world-class athletes • cut red tape • improve our handling of 'mega' and major events. 2.3 The report also: • highlights health benefits as the clearest advantage of encouraging greater involvement in sport and other physical activities • says that introducing people to a wide range of sports and activities early on encourages them to stay 'sports literate' for life • calls for better evaluation of pilot schemes to identify best ways of encouraging people to take more exercise • states that local councils should set targets to achieve health benefits through sport and other activities • says resources need to be targeted on children and young people, women, and older people, in particular those who live in economically-disadvantaged areas, to encourage participation A Report for Lewes District Council Page 3 LEWES DISTRICT OUTDOOR PLAYING SPACE REVEW 2: THE CURRENT PICTURE • calls for a new central database of sports facilities to help plan where new investment may be needed, and to monitor use and participation levels. 2.4 One of the report's key recommendations is for tighter funding agreements between Government and the Sports Councils. It says that decisions on handing over taxpayer's money should be based on results achieved in raising participation and elite level success, rather than on the programmes they are planning to run. A Vision for 2020 The Framework for Sport in England 2004 2.5 In response to Game Plan Sport England published its framework for sport taking on the targets set and using them as a springboard to develop a new way of working with a new focus and a clear vision. 2.6 To deliver the vision, the framework identifies three strands: • Making England Active – helping people to start and stay in sport • Making England Successful – fulfilling aspirations to be the best sporting nation in the world • Backing London’s bid to host the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games 2.7 Driving participation in sport are seven key elements that need to be taken into account: • the population is aging steadily and there has been a consistent trend that the older you are the less you participate • the majority of people face time pressures. With longer working weeks and the diversity of family life trends suggest this is not going to get any easier • the level of obesity has tripled in England in the past 20 years and once again trends suggest this situation will get worse unless action is taken • currently participation in sports reveals inequity across a range of indicators including gender, ethnicity and disability. Barriers to sport vary, such as transport in rural areas and financial pressure in urban areas give great variations in access to all forms of participation in sport • utilising education - schools can be a major contributor to alleviating time pressure on family life and in creating the bridge to participation after school. Facilities in further and higher education can also provide opportunities that should be utilised • sport is the single biggest contributor to the voluntary sector with 26% of all volunteers involved in sport. Young people often do not realise the range of career opportunities in sport so together the volunteer and professional workforces need to be supported and developed • if the sports sector is make changes the levels of investment available will be key. Expenditure by local authorities has barely kept up with inflation while facility stock is ageing A Report for Lewes District Council Page 4 LEWES DISTRICT OUTDOOR PLAYING SPACE REVEW 2: THE CURRENT PICTURE 2.8 New structures are being put into place to bridge the gaps identified between national and local sports. These include School Sports Partnerships, County Sports Partnerships, Regional Sports Boards, Higher Education Talented Athletes Scholarship Scheme Consortia and the English Institute of Sport. 2.9 The Framework sets priorities for action to be developed through Sport England or with partners at a more local level. By 2020 the Framework’s objective is to achieve at least 50% of the population playing sport, increasing the number of people taking part in sport three times a week for 30 minutes of moderate intensity and reducing the inequality in participation amongst priority groups. Playing pitch provision in England A lack of reliable data 2.10 There are no reliable national estimates of the total recreational land resource, nor the playing pitch component within it, although various local studies show a wide variation in levels of provision. Through merging the data extracted from the Register of Recreational Land (Sports Council), the Playing Pitch Strategy (1991)1 suggests that: • there are approximately 70,000 pitches in England • 50,000 of the pitches are adult / secondary school size • 20,000 are primary school size • they occupy about 90,000 hectares (220,000 acres) of land, or 28% of total open space provision. 2.11 There is, however, wide variation by locality, sport and ownership. Through collating previous local pitch strategies, the average population per pitch was 989, although this varied from 2,900 in the London Borough of Southwark to 700 in the London Borough of Bromley. 2.12 The Playing Pitch Strategy states that football accounts for about half of all adult size provision and cricket a quarter, with rugby and hockey sharing the balance.

Leader - Ms Louise Goldsmith 1 The Leader gave a welcome speech to the Dementia Showcase Event on 15th September hosted by Sussex Community NHS Trust. The aim of the event was to provide social care and health professionals with new and different ways of supporting people with dementia and hearing about good practice. It was an opportunity for the Leader to talk about the work which the County Council has been involved in and to explain more about Age with Confidence. This is the title for the integrated approach that it is hoped will be used by all partners in the county: to help people plan for and experience old age with dignity and respect, to be able to continue to make a positive contribution and to remain healthy and independent for as long as possible. 2 The Leader has obtained support from the Select Committee Chairmen for Adults’ Services and Children and Young People’s Services for the appointment of lead members from each Select Committee to act as Safeguarding Guardians. The purpose of the role is to act as a member champion, to build stronger, visible links between the members of the Council and all County Council staff and facilitate a more informed focus on safeguarding through the Select Committees’ work.
