So, you’re thinking about starting or growing play streets in your local authority – you’re in the right place!

Join the growing movement of local authorities around the UK supporting this low-cost, resident led initiative.

Play streets have high impact for public health, community cohesion, children’s physical activity and mental health, safer streets and more. They can support the active travel agenda by creating safe additional public space.

Want to start with a trial? You can always test the idea and learn how it works, using an existing street party application process. Find some residents who are interested and support them.
