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.

Following a successful pilot in 2013, residents in Haringey are now able to apply to close their streets to traffic (for free!) for up to three hours per week during daylight hours.
The application process asks residents to consult with and get agreement from a majority of their directly affected neighbours. The council will provide all the signs that you need.
You can read about the details of the scheme and how to apply on the Haringey website or email [email protected]
