For more support on play streets and to connect with the play streets movement see our Support for play streets page.

What’s happening in Sandwell?

A pilot play street took place in Sandwell in summer 2018, and a pilot project ran for a few months in 2019 across three streets. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive and we hope the policy will extend – you can encourage this by lobbying your local council.

Link up with others and get support.
