Local Football Facility Plan Telford and Wrekin

Telford & Wrekin is in the West Midlands region.

The current population of the Authority (ONS 2017 Mid-Year Estimate) is 175,768. This is expected to rise to 191,482 by 2039.

36.9% of the Telford & Wrekin population is within NS SEC classification 6-8 (lower socio-economic groups). This is above the national average (30.6%)

Telford & Wrekin’s ethnic composition is primarily White (92.7%) and this is higher than the national average (85.4%).

The proportion of Telford & Wrekin’s population represented by the BAME community is 7.3%. This is below the national average (14.6%).

Local Authority

Telford's health & well- being Strategy 2016-19 sets out three key aims - to encourage healthier lifestyles , improve mental wellbeing and mental health and to strengthen our communities and community based support.

Within the Council's Local Plan, there is a commitment to a 'green guarantee' whereby the Council has agreed to formally recognise 104 sites as areas of open space for leisure, recreation and biodiversity purposes protected from any development.

The local authority has a Playing Pitch Strategy in place; this was developed in 2015. The key findings included:

• Teams migrating out of the Telford area due to low availability of pitches.
• Lack of ancillary facilities.
• Majority of grass pitch provision was standard quality.

County Football Association

Telford is covered by Shropshire County FA which provides governance and development support to all aspects of local football including coaches, referees, volunteers, clubs and leagues; supporting football for all. The County FA has a designated facilities investment lead officer who works to ensure the right facilities are located in the right locations.

Football Foundation

The Regional Engagement Manager and Regional Technical Project Manager at the Football Foundation work collaboratively with the County FA to provide pre-application support to priority projects for potential investment.

Sport England

Has a network of planning managers who have a statutory role in the planning system to protect playing fields and provide consultation responses to planning applications relating to sporting facilities . They also play a key role in strategic planning for sports facilities, providing advice and support to local authorities to assess need for facilities in their local area.

Local leisure operator

Telford & Wrekin Council operate leisure facilities in the area in-house. These include the 11 v 11 3G FTP at Phoenix Leisure Centre. In addition, the Council has planning permission to develop a further 11 v 11 3G FTP at Madeley which it will operate.

Local consultation

This has taken place with several community groups in Telford & Wrekin. 12 individuals (representing 7 local organisations) were consulted. These include:

• Great Dawley Town Council
• Brookside Big Local
• Recharge Telford
• Donnington Community Partnership
• Sinclair Utd FC
• Nova Utd FC
• Allscott FC

(See Appendix B for full list of consultees)

Clubs

There are over 91,000 community football teams in England, spread over an expansive network of clubs and leagues. Shropshire Football Association has a total of 698 teams affiliated, which is comparable to local areas of a similar size.

The FA is investing to support clubs both on and off the pitch which includes an aim to have a qualified FA coach with every youth team by 2020/21. In addition, it will support 1,000 clubs to create full player pathways from youth to adult teams and develop 150 community football hubs with male and female pathways, disability and recreational playing opportunities.

Over the last 10-years there has been a significant national increase in the number of large multi-team football clubs. In Telford & Wrekin, Over 20 clubs have more than 10 registered teams. The largest of these (based upon 2018-19 affiliation data) are:

• Admaston Juniors - 28 teams
• Nova FC - 22 teams
• Ercall Colts – 18 teams
• Lawley Lightmoor comets - 14 teams

Eight leagues operate in Shropshire. They offer competitive opportunities for many different players, including women and girls, disability, youth and adults .

Telford and Wrekin largest local leagues (2017-18) include:

• Telford Junior Football League – 212 teams– home and away.
• Telford Sunday Adult League – 14 teams

The County FA reports that there is significant cross boundary migration in Shropshire due to teams migrating outwards to the West Midlands Regional League.

Disability football

There are 9.4million people in England with a long-standing limiting disability, illness or condition which equates to 18% of the population – almost one in five. Football playing opportunities should be flexible, inclusive and accessible for everyone, whatever their level of ability. This could entail inclusion in mainstream activity or teams / sessions specifically for people with a disability.

In Telford and Wrekin there are 5 football teams specifically for people with a disability. It is a priority of the County FA to grow this provision. For talented players the FA run Regional Centres and England national squads.

Women and girls

The FA has big ambitions for the female game and aims to double levels of participation by 2020. To achieve this requires a combined effort across four pathways: education, recreation, competition and talent.

Education environments have a huge impact on the first experience of football for young girls. This pathway can offer many opportunities for females of all ages to develop and grow a lifelong interest in football.

FA Wildcats girls football centres provide the first step on the recreational pathway, the programme provides girls aged 5-11 with regular opportunities to play football in a fun and engaging environment. Shropshire FA in partnership with Stakeholders has 19 FA Wildcats girls football centres and the priority is to grow this activity . Six are based in Telford and Wrekin area.

At 46, Telford and Wrekin's number of female teams is lower than local areas of a similar size. The County FA’s priority is to support existing clubs to grow and encourage more clubs to develop playing opportunities for females. The local girls league is the Shropshire Girls and Women's Football League League and matches are played on a home and away basis. The league is expected to grow its provision in future years. The County does not have a local adult female league with all adult teams playing out of the County . A women's County Summer League does take place over a 10 week period in June and July.

For talented players, the most local FA Regional Talent Club (RTC) is Shrewsbury Town which is located in Shrewsbury . Higher level talent pathway opportunities are also provided regionally and nationally by the FA, culminating in the England Women’s national squads. The most local Women’s Super League team is Birmingham City which provides player pathway opportunities for gifted and talented female players and a spectator interest for fans.

Small-sided football

Many different types of small-sided football are played in England, from teams and leagues to recreational and informal. It is an established and important part of the modern game.

Many different types of small-sided football are played in England, from teams and leagues to recreational and informal. It is an established and important part of the modern game.

Small-sided teams & leagues are organised and competitive activities; typically with players registered to clubs and affiliated to leagues and their County FAs. Examples include Futsal and local small-sided leagues running at venues such as sports halls, 3G FTPs or small-sided 3G centres.

Key local providers include

• Champion Soccer at various venues
• Bridgnorth 5 a side League (based in Shropshire)
• Goalzone @ AFC Telford United

Futsal is an exciting, fast-paced, small sided team game that is widely played across the world. Typically it’s played on an indoor surface with hockey-sized goals and a size 4 football with reduced ball bounce. It is the FA’s aim to ensure Futsal is available across the country.

There are currently 38 futsal teams in T&W that play at key site locations including Telford College and Oakengates Leisure Centre.

• It is a priority for the County FA to grow Futsal for male/ female/ youth and adult players .

Recreational football is played where facilities are typically booked and there might be someone to help organise. Examples include FA Just Play sessions, walking football and casual pitch hire for small-sided match play.

There is currently one FA Just Play Centre in Telford and Wrekin. Walking football sessions are delivered by a range of community organisation such a AFC Telford United. Walking football and Just Play are areas that the County FA has prioritised for further growth and development. Other local recreational football programmes include AFC Telford United Community Trust scheme activity which deliver by a range of activities.

Informal football is played in local parks and green spaces – it is free, open access and often played spontaneously (normal clothing is worn). Common examples include a kick-about at a local park or on a multi-use games area (MUGA).

The key strengths of local football in Telford and Wrekin include Junior Youth Football and Futsal provision and it is recommend that this is sustained and also encouraged to grow further. However, gaps in provision do exist. There are aspects of football provision that are lower than local authorities of a similar size, these include Adult Male Saturday and Sunday Football 11v 11, Women's Adult Football and generally Adult Football in the Telford and Wrekin Area.

It is therefore recommended that the future football development priorities for Telford and Wrekin Football are:

• Provision of a Shropshire Football Association Hub Site in the Telford and Wrekin area with a preference for Telford College as the chosen site.
• To Grow Male adult 11 v 11 participation throughout the county especially the flexible football offer at strategic 3G sites.
• To grow recreational football within the county especially Just Play and Walking Football participation.
• To double participation within the Girls and Women's Game within the county.
• Continue to grow participation for Futsal players at all age ranges at strategic sites within the county.

This section reviews existing football facility assets in Telford and Wrekin. It identifies current issues and presents opportunities for improvements, including a list of priority projects for potential investment.

Local assets and opportunities have been reviewed inline with four investment priorities:

1. 3G FTPs
2. Improved grass pitches
3. Changing room pavilions / clubhouses
4. Small-sided facilities

To ensure a consistent and high quality approach, each local area has been reviewed applying a standard approach, supplemented by input from consultation with local partners and stakeholder organisations.

While each investment priority is reviewed individually, it is understood that they can be inter-reliant; account is, thus, taken of these potential connections.

3G FTPs are a high quality and indispensable part of modern football facilities; their impact cannot be underestimated. In recent years the industry has seen major innovations and improvements to artificial surfaces (and sports lighting). This has created playing surfaces that replicate a good standard natural turf pitch whilst significantly increasing levels of use (x20). All FTPs must have sports lighting to achieve this.

The high quality, consistent playing surface is the ideal environment to play the game and for young people to learn. With regular maintenance programmes, FTPs can be heavily used all year round with no decline in quality. They almost completely negate annoying fixture cancellations during winter months, helping football to be a key part of a regular physical activity habit.

High capacity levels offer a great opportunity to embrace all formats and engage all participants. A full-sized 3G caters for an average of 1,200 participants per week and is suitable for various location types. That means being fully inclusive to all sections of the community, with a particular focus on under-represented groups such as women and girls, people with a disability, BAME communities and people from lower socio-economic groups.

The way 3G FTPs are used is rapidly changing; current line-marking systems allow for match play across all formats of football (5v5, 7v7, 9v9 and 11v11). This enables significant levels of match-play to be transferred from grass to 3G.

The national ‘Mini Pitch’ programme delivers small 3G FTPs at primary school sites to provide a high quality introduction to football and get children more physically active. While mini pitches are reviewed in this section, they are not included in the demand and supply analysis for 3G FTPs.

Assets and opportunities

FA data states that there are currently four full sized 3G FTPs in Telford & Wrekin and one 60 x 40 m FTP at Telford College ; this is a shortfall of three pitches relative to assessed demand.

Existing 3G FTPs in Telford & Wrekin include:

• Oakengates Leisure Centre
• Thomas Telford School
• Telford College (1 x v 11 v 11 FTP , 1 x 60 x 40m FTP)
• Phoenix Sports & Leisure Centre

Additionally, there are currently two small-sided 3G FTP centres at :

• Telford Utd
• Hadley Learning Community

The following sites are already being development without funding via the Football Foundation:

• Planning permission was granted in February 2018 for a new 3G FTP at Madeley (Old Ski Slope), to be operated by the Local Authority.

Three of the four pitches are available for community use. Community use opportunities have been explored at Thomas Telford School , however according to the CFA this site remains largely inaccessible in respect of community bookings . The pitches at Telford College, Oakengates Leisure Centre and Phoenix Leisure Centre are on the FA Register for 3G FTPs (meaning they are quality checked and can be used for football match play). It is strongly recommend that the remaining pitch at Thomas Telford school is placed on the register to enable more match play on 3G.

The geographical spread of existing facilities is relatively even ; the majority are located in the south / central area of Telford & Wrekin where population is at its most dense.

Local consultation reveals common issues with high pricing , low availability , no community access and it is recommended that these are addressed .

Priority projects

Three priority projects for potential investment have been identified. The undersupply figure of three was calculated using the FA 3G FTP demand and supply model, with the figure being inclusive of the development at Madely Ski Slope. Proposals at Telford College and Newdale are at an early stage of development and require further detailed consultation in order to determine whether one, or both proposals should proceed.

Each site was selected by local partners based on a rationale of good access, high population, geographical spread, success and quality of existing facilities, high levels of deprivation, high levels of lower social economic groups :

1- Site adjacent The Burton Borough School – New floodlit 11 v 11 FTP

• Existing facilities – 1 x grass pitch
• Existing users – Newport Girls
• Rationale – Site identified on adjacent land to the school which will be brought into use. Facility will accommodate training & matchplay demand from Nova Utd (22 teams), create Step 6 capable provision for Newport FC. Potential participation increases for adult male & female football, junior football.

2- Telford College – Additional floodlit 11 v 11 FTP

• Existing facilities – 1 x floodlit 11 v 11 FTP, 1 x 60 x 40 FTP
• Existing users – 25 affiliated teams including Admaston Juniors (6 teams), Wellington Amateurs (4 teams)
• Rationale – Additional 11 v 11 FTP to form Shropshire CFA satellite hub facility . Potential central venue for U11 development league. Potential Shropshire FA centre of excellence for disability football and futsal. Location for Just Play development centre leading to midweek flexi 11 v 11 League.

11- Newdale development site - New floodlit 11 v 11 FTP

• Existing facilities – n/a
• Existing users - n/a
• Rationale- Facility to provide a football hub, including new grass pitches and pavilion for Lawley Lightmoor Comets (14 affiliated teams) who it is intended will operate the site in partnership with a judo club. Potential participation increases in junior, male, female football and amongst lower socio-economic groups.

Playing fields are one of the most important resources for sport in England. All football players should have the opportunity to play on good quality grass pitches. However, FA data shows that 63% of pitches in England are poor / low standard and 1 in 6 games are cancelled. As such, poor pitch quality is consistently cited as the number one issue for players.

The priority is, therefore, to sustainably improve grass pitch quality across all main pitch owners (local authorities, education establishments and clubs). However, the level of maintenance required to obtain good quality standards is regularly affected by restricted budgets and limited knowledge/ training. Compaction and grass coverage are two key causes of poor quality pitches. Both are commonly treated via a maintenance driven solution (and do not necessarily require costly drainage schemes).

Playing fields are also a valuable resources for informal play and open-access sites are encouraged but, for many, problems such as dog fouling and vandalism mean that they need to be protected with mitigation measures such as fencing.

In many local areas the key challenge is to create a sustainable approach to provide good quality football pitches for the long-term. Many local authorities (78%) intend to increase pitch hire fees in the future. However, many players (63%) believe facilities are already expensive and some (16%) believe prices are prohibitive. A sustainable solution should, therefore, carefully balance pitch quality and affordability.

While the education sector (37%) and local authorities (32%) are still the principal asset owners of grass pitches, clubs / leagues own or maintain an increasing share (currently 25%). Assets and opportunities have been considered across each sector.

Although large (3+ pitch) strategic sites are important and make up much of the project list within the LFFPs, this does not mean that other club, league and community/voluntary sites are not important or eligible for funding. These sites are key to the Football Foundation's Grass Pitch Programme to deliver 20,000 good quality pitches.

Pitch finder data indicates that there are currently 19 grass pitch sites in Telford & Wrekin with three or more full-size pitch equivalents containing 78 grass pitches.

Local consultation shows common issues with poor quality and low availability of pitches and it is recommended that these are addressed.

Five priority projects for potential investment have been identified. Two of the sites have three or more full-size pitch equivalents of poor or standard quality, with the remaining three being two pitch sites deemed to be strategically important by the steering group. Pitch quality rating was evidenced by PPS data and qualified by local partners. Due to the significant number of grass pitch sites in Telford local partners did not select all sites and prioritised only five, containing 15 full-size pitch equivalents. The prioritisation was informed by local partners with the rationale of selecting sites in the poorest condition and with a strategic focus to improve Local Authority / Club pitches:

4- The Elms Playing Field- works to natural grass pitches

• Existing facilities - 2 x grass pitches
• Existing users: no affiliated use due to poor quality
• Rationale : Site identified within PPS as being of poor quality. Potential site for community asset transfer. Potential participation growth in junior & senior football, women & girls, lower socio economic groups.

5- Sutton Hill Playing Field- works to natural grass pitches

• Existing facilities - 2 x grass pitches
• Existing users: Talbot FC (TSL)
• Rationale : Site identified within PPS as being of poor quality. Potential participation growth in junior & senior football, women & girls, lower socio economic groups.

6- Ringers Lane - works to natural grass pitches

• Existing facilities - 4 x grass pitches
• Existing users: Admaston Juniors (eight affiliated teams)
• Rationale : Site identified within PPS as being of poor quality. Potential participation growth in junior & senior football, women & girls, lower socio- economic groups.

7- Leegomery (Mercia Fields) - works to natural grass pitches

• Existing facilities - 2 x grass pitches
• Existing users: Wellington KB utd (six affiliated teams)
• Rationale : Site identified within PPS as being of poor quality. Potential participation growth in junior & senior football, women & girls, lower socio- economic groups.

21 - Alscott Sports & Social Club- works to natural grass pitches - creation of min. two additional

• Existing facilities - 5 x grass pitches
• Existing users: Allscott AFC (10 affiliated teams)
• Rationale : Multi- sport club with growing football section and opportunity to make better use of current pitch provision. Potential participation growth in junior & senior football, women & girls, lower socio- economic groups.

These can provide a number of different benefits. While the primary function is normally the provision of changing rooms to accommodate match-play and training (for players and officials), there can be equal value in facilities such as community and education rooms, catering facilities and spectator toilets.

Each project will take a progressive approach to pavilions and clubhouses (beyond the provision of changing rooms) and be open to new opportunities to engage the whole community. That means, creating environments that are welcoming to players, spectators, volunteers, officials and all sections of the community.

Such assets should support other investment priorities (e.g. 3G FTPs and grass pitches) and be located at sites that will have the greatest impact on local communities. To ensure this, focus is given to sites with three or more full-size pitch equivalents. However, as pitch quality is the number one priority for players this is prioritised before investment in changing room pavilions /clubhouses.

Clearly, facilities need to be well managed and maintained to keep them in a good state of repair. Consideration will be given to reviewing the best operator solution for key sites and the installation of revenue generating features such as catering facilities and community rooms. To achieve this, business plan support will be given to each priority project as it progresses to an application to the Football Foundation.

Of the 19 key sites with three or more full-size pitch equivalents in Telford & Wrekin, 13 have suitable changing room pavilions/clubhouses, three have facilities that need improvement/ replacement and three have no facilities and require a new changing pavilion. In addition , four sites with less than three pitch equivalents have been identified for improvement due to their strategic importance for football. Also, one new multi-grass pitch site being brought into use also requires a new changing pavilion (Newdale).

Eleven priority projects for potential investment have therefore been identified*. Each project has three or more full-size pitch equivalents and has either no facilities or was deemed to have an unsuitable pavilion. Two sites with less than three pitch equivalents have also been identified due to their strategic importance for football:

*Only one of Broad Oaks Playing field / Donnington Recreation ground should be delivered due to their close proximity and level of affiliated football across both sites.

4- The Elms Playing Field- new build changing pavilion

• Existing facilities - 2 x grass pitches
• Existing users: no affiliated use due to poor quality
• Rationale : Site identified within PPS as being of poor quality. Potential site for community asset transfer. Potential participation growth in junior & senior football, women & girls, lower socio economic groups.

5- Sutton Hill Playing Fields - refurbish changing pavilion

• Existing football facilities – 4 x grass pitches

Good facilities are important to all small-sided football players, but it is important to understand the different formats of the small-sided game and the various facility types they relate to.

Research suggests that small-sided players in teams & leagues, and in recreational sessions, prefer a 3G surface type because it replicates a good standard natural turf pitch. These facilities have already been covered in the 3G FTP section of this LFFP.

Indoor environments currently accommodate 20% of football participation and are also popular with players in teams & leagues and recreational sessions . Indoor sports halls are most popular, along with some community halls and indoor 3G centres. Environments need to be engaging, have clear line-marking and the correct size goalposts.

Informal players require facilities that are open and free to access as this enables play opportunities that are often spontaneous. In these circumstances multi-use games areas (MUGAs) can be effective in areas of high urban population and limited green space. Such facilities can be modern, bright, creative and engaging. While this plan will identify suitable locations for such facilities, the design and specifics of the facility type can be agreed at a later stage with Football Foundation staff when projects are ready to progress to pre-application stage.

Parks and open green spaces are also important to informal play and require goalposts and zones that are free from litter and dog fouling.

Local consultation reveals there are no indoor facilities that require improvement to develop small-sided football.

Seven potential opportunities for MUGA’s have been identified. In each case the rationale is based on the site being in an area of high urban population , limited green space , high levels of deprivation, high levels of lower social economic groups and corresponding high local demand for informal football:

Floodlighting of six existing ball-courts - Brookside (site 19), Malinslee (16), Donnington (14), Woodside (18), Stirchley (17), Wellington (20)

Existing facilities - ball court -type MUGA.

Current users - recreational / informal football use.

Rationale -Opportunity to create year-round access via floodlighting to existing 'ball court' MUGA' in areas of high IMD and known to be used for informal football. Potential to test solar lighting. Sites identified as Brookside, Malinslee, Stirchley, Donnington, Woodside. Potential opportunities for growth in informal / recreational football amongst women & girls, lower socio-economic groups.

Lawley Primary School - conversion of existing MUGA to 5v5 FTP (site 15)

• Existing facilities - concrete MUGA.
• Current users - recreational / informal football use.
• Rationale - opportunity to create a higher quality football experience by converting an existing concrete MUGA to 3G 5V5 FTP. School is known to be pro-active and a potential site for delivery of youth / girls mini-soccer programme . Potential opportunities for growth in informal / recreational football amongst women & girls, lower socio-economic groups.

Following local consultation, no locations have been identified to support small-sided informal football.
