2025 Play Streets

ActiveWestminster Play Streets Consultation on Proposals for 2025

ACTIVE STREETS - PLAY STREET IMPLEMENTATION FOR 2025

A Play Street provides priority for children and families to enable them to play in the designated streets. A Play Street is open to all, regardless of where they live. This is underpinned by Department for Transport legislation (Section 29, Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984).

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.

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.

These are the streets that were considered for 2025:

• 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
