Westminster City Council is inviting residents and local communities to share their thoughts on a proposal to introduce a seasonal Play Street on Barnsdale Road. This would give children more space to play safely and offer a more sociable, people-friendly environment during the warmer months.
If approved, the Play Street would run every year from 1 April to 30 September, with pedestrian priority and reduced vehicle access at set times:
The aim is to create a safer, more active street that encourages outdoor play, reduces through-traffic during key hours, and brings the local community together
The Public Consultation is now open until 11:59 p.m. on 7th September 2025. We will also be running two drop in events where you will have the opportunity to meet members of of the team, ask questions and share your thoughts in person.
Children and young people are also welcome to come to these events – their views matter to us as well, so please do bring them along.
If you would like hard copies of the consultation support materials or questionnaire, or require any reasonable adjustments to participate please contact: Westminsterplaystreets@wsp.com
