804/05 Angus Council Agenda Item No REPORT NO 804/05 ANGUS COUNCIL CIVIC LICENSING COMMITTEE – 21 JUNE 2005 DESIGNATED SPORTS GROUNDS AND REGULATED STANDS IN ANGUS REPORT BY THE DIRECTOR OF LAW AND ADMINISTRATION ABSTRACT This Report deals with the annual inspection by The Tayside Sports Grounds Safety Team of Gayfield Park, Arbroath and the regulated stands at Links Park, Montrose, Glebe Park, Brechin and Station Park, Forfar. 1. RECOMMENDATION The Committee is asked:- (i) to note the outcome of the annual inspections of the sports ground at Gayfield Park, Arbroath and the regulated stands at Links Park, Montrose, Glebe Park, Brechin and Station Park, Forfar and the responses from the respective Clubs; (ii) to note the advice given to Brechin FC regarding the segregation at Glebe Park during season 2005/06; (iii) to note that General Safety Certificates will be issued to Arbroath, Brechin, Forfar and Montrose Football Clubs covering the period 1 July 2005 to 30 June 2006 subject to the identified actions being taken by the Clubs; and (iv) to remit to the Tayside Sports Grounds Safety Team to follow up the various matters raised in the Inspection Reports with the Clubs concerned. 2. BACKGROUND Under Section 1 of the Safety of Sports Grounds Act 1975, sports grounds designated by the Secretary of State, being sports grounds with accommodation for more than 10,000 spectators, require a General Safety Certificate. There is one such sports ground so designated in Angus, namely Gayfield Park, Arbroath and a General Safety Certificate has been issued in respect of that ground. However, members will recall that, in 2000, the Certificate was issued with a revised capacity of 4020. Section 26 of the Fire Safety and Safety of Places of Sport Act 1987 requires that a General Safety Certificate be issued in respect of stands for 500 or more spectators, referred to as "regulated stands" in sports grounds which are not designated under the 1975 Act. There are three non-designated sports grounds in Angus, namely Links Park, Montrose, Glebe Park, Brechin and Station Park, Forfar for which General Safety Certificates have been issued in respect of the regulated stands at these grounds. It is recommended good practice that any sports ground or regulated stand which is the subject of a General Safety Certificate should be inspected annually. This is done by the Tayside Sports Grounds Safety Team which follows up these inspections with formal Reports on the outcome to the certifying authority (ie Angus Council). This year, the Team decided to undertake the inspections earlier so that the formal Reports could be given to the Clubs in time for them to carry out any action during the close season. It was also recommended that Certificates should be reissued before the start of the football season. 3. 2005 INSPECTIONS The 2005 inspections of the Angus grounds/stands took place on 11 March 2005 and copies of the Reports on the Team's findings are available in the Councillors' Lounge. All of the Clubs have been given the opportunity to comment on the Inspection Report pertaining to their ground/stands and the responses, if any, are attached to the relevant Reports. 2 From examination of the responses, the management of all the Clubs do appear to be continuing to take their responsibilities seriously and, within the limits of their resources, are tackling the matters which have been highlighted in their particular Reports. As far as Gayfield Park is concerned, the Team noted extensive corrosion on many of the barriers around the ground. However, Arbroath FC are carrying out measures to have them assessed, tested and replaced where necessary. Bruce Fleming, Design Engineer in the Roads Department and a member of the Safety Team, has offered to help the Club in the detailed repositioning of any new barriers to ensure optimum safety requirements and capacity benefits. In light of Brechin’s promotion to the First Division of the Scottish Football League, the Safety Team has supported a recommendation by Tayside Police that arrangements for crowd segregation at Glebe Park during the forthcoming season should be similar to those in operation in season 2003/04. Such segregation will only be deemed necessary at predetermined games where attendance figures can reasonably be anticipated to be higher then the norm. Members will note from the Report on Station Park, Forfar, that the Club’s proposal to replace the stand has temporarily been shelved. As a result, and given the age and condition of the structure, it is recommended that the Club arrange for a structural survey to be carried out to assess the existing condition of the whole stand, including areas that cannot be checked by a visual inspection. With regard to Links Park, Tayside Fire Brigade have recommended urgent action in relation to two points noted under means of escape within the section on fire precautions. The Club has also been asked to carry out a risk assessment on every barrier in accordance with Section 10.19 of the Green Guide. Every barrier identified by the risk assessment as a potential risk should be tested immediately and all results kept in the recording system provided by the Safety Team. 4. CONCLUSION The Inspection Reports and the responses from the Football Clubs indicate that appropriate efforts are being made to deal with spectator safety within the limited resources available to them. Nevertheless, the Tayside Sports Grounds Safety Team will continue to monitor the situation at each ground in Angus on a regular basis and, if necessary, will advise the Council on whether any action is necessary in connection with the Safety Certificates. 5. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS There are no financial implications arising from this Report. 6. HUMAN RIGHTS IMPLICATIONS There are no Human Rights implications arising from the recommendations contained in this Report. 7. CONSULTATION The Chief Executive, Director of Finance, Director of Planning and Transport, Director of Roads and Tayside Police have been consulted in the preparation of this Report. CATHERINE A COULL Director of Law and Administration NOTE: No background papers as defined by Section 50D of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 (other than any containing confidential or exempt information) were relied on to any material extent in preparing the above Report.
