Kids Can Play in Streets

September 19, 2012 by Chris

A New Neighbours-Friendly Approach to Kids Street Play

A journalist parent has explained in an article in the Independent how she manages to support her kids to play in the street.

With some other parents they watch their kids play mainly on the pavements for a while, without closing the road to traffic.

This informal approach to street play is keenly supported by Streets Alive as explained in our downloadable Street Play Guide.

Key to this success is that residents trust each other as they know each other reasonably well. The best way to achieve this is by first holding a street party.

The article explains the whole process well here.
