Let's Play Outside - Apply for a Summer Street Play by the end of May!

Streets can and should be places where people can sit, talk, read, play walk and connect. There are so many positive benefits:

  • It gives children the space and the freedom to be active and play safely outdoors, providing an opportunity to make friends near home, whilst gaining independence and learning new skills. 
  • It brings the wider community together, increasing connections, forming new friendships and trusts between neighbours of all ages and backgrounds.
Overall it leads to a higher sense of belonging, allowing people of all ages and walks of life to connect with each other and lead active, healthy and happy lives.
 
Applications take 25 days working days, so do something wonderful for your community and apply today!

No Mow May is Back!

No Mow May is Back!

No Mow May
Following on from last year’s success, Westminster City Council is taking part in PlantLife’s campaign ‘No Mow May’ again this year to support biodiversity in our parks and estates.

Some of our parks, greenspaces and housing estates will not be mowed for the entire month of May.

Giving Nature a Chance for Nurture!

A healthy lawn with some long grass and wildflowers benefits wildlife. The wildflowers provide a vital food source for bees and butterflies. With their numbers in decline, they need all the help they can get.

Find out more about why we’re participating on the No Mow May dedicated webpage.

To join us head-over over to PlantLife’s website to find out how you can get involved!
