Good news! In October 2020, Salford City council announced that “Play streets are set to be reintroduced back into Salford 90 years after the city pioneered the scheme in England.”
See excellent media coverage in the Salford Now and Manchester Evening News. The article also says:
“Back in the 1930s Salford was the first city to introduce play streets in the country when then Salford Chief Constable Major Cedric Valentine Godfrey, brought the idea to the city after seeing how they worked in the tightly-packed districts of The Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan in New York who had created play streets.”
We’re not sure when the application process will be available, so we suggest contacting your local councillors to find out.
If you have any further information please do let us know, so we can update this page.
