More Play, Less Traffic: Active Streets Returns to Westminster

Westminster’s Active Streets Programme is returning for another year, bringing more opportunities for residents and school to enjoy safer, traffic-reduced streets for play, activity and community connection.

This annual programme is designed to transform residential roads into welcoming spaces where children can play, neighbours can meet and communities can be more active together. By temporarily reducing traffic and opening streets for local use, Active Streets helps create healthier neighborhoods and encourages outdoor activity close to home.

Less Traffic, More Play. Bring Activity Back To Your Street.

Residents and schools can once again get involved through a few routes:

  • Street Play: Temporary road closures that allow children and families to safely play in their street.
  • Play Streets: Streets where organised play sessions can take place at specific times.

Community volunteers know as Street Makers, help organise sessions and support their neighbourhoods in bringing these events to life.

With the programme returning this year, more Westminster streets will have the chance to become lively spaces where play, movement and community spirit take centre stage.
