A play street is where neighbours agree together to close their road temporarily but regularly to through traffic – so that children can play while adults get to know each other better. You can make it happen on your street. Play Streets benefits everyone by:
- encouraging children to be more active
- bringing neighbours and the community together
- promoting our commitment to improving air quality
Setting up a Play Street will cost you nothing. You can close your street for up to three hours a day for play, no more than once a week in any single street.
Completed applications for Play Streets should be received at least 12 weeks before the proposed date of the first Play Street session. Please ensure you submit your application before the deadline for the period.
