You Said, We Did - A Decision on Proposed Play Streets

Opening up streets for all children to play and for the community to get together has been shown to build a higher sense of trust and belonging, allowing people of all ages and walks of life to connect with each other and lead active, healthy and happy lives.

Westminster City Council have been processing the eligibility of eight different Play Street locations against a set of criteria that identifies the local communities desire for Play Streets, whether residents are able to activate their street, and how a history of Street Play sessions has informed the success of a Play Street going forward.

The streets that were being considered were:

• Ashmore Rd, Queens Park ward (Northern section between Marban Rd and Kilburn Lane)
• Ashmore Rd, Harrow Rd ward (Southern section between Shirland Rd and Riverton Close)
• Chippenham Mews, Harrow Rd ward
• Kilravock St, Queens Park ward
• Marne St, Queens Park ward
• Northumberland Place, Bayswater ward
• Peach Rd, Queens Pard ward
• Ranelagh Close, Pimlico South ward

Following a rigorous evaluation and resident consultation of the proposed Play Streets Westminster City Council will be implementing the following Play Streets:

• Ashmore Rd, Queens Park ward (Northern section between Marban Rd and Kilburn Lane)
• Kilravock St, Queens Park ward
• Northumberland Place, Bayswater ward

Road and infrastructure works on Northumberland Place are planned to commence in May and be completed in July. Ashmore Rd and Kilravock St are planned to start in July and be finished in August. A confirmed completion date will be announced as the project progresses.
