I just wanted to share how wonderful the Street Play initiative on Northumberland Place has been for our family and the wider community. Since it began, my son now plays outside almost every day after school and at weekends, something that simply didn’t happen before given the lack of outdoor space in our homes. It has been fantastic to see him making new friends with children on the street, as well as with families we hadn’t even realised lived nearby. It has also created such a lovely atmosphere for parents, giving us the opportunity to socialise and build relationships with neighbours in a way that feels incredibly welcoming and community focused. One of the nicest things has been seeing families from adjacent streets coming to enjoy it too, which has really helped create a wider sense of connection across the area. The initiative has genuinely transformed the feel of the street and created a warm, safe and sociable environment for local families. We’re incredibly grateful to everyone involved in making it happen. Many thanks.
