The Atlantic!We’ve added a pin for every area where parents, residents, a community organisation or the council (and ideally, all of them together) are starting to change things for children through play streets and related ideas. The movement is growing! See what’s happening near you by entering the name of your local authority (council) in the box below. For more support on play streets and to connect with the play streets movement see our Support for play streets page.

East Renfrewshire council does not currently support play streets, although they have previously held a play street in the summer of 2018. The community organisation Incude2Me club helped organise it, with the support of Councillor Angela Convery.
If you want to try and get things going again in this area, you can read more information about Getting your council on board.
