Survey for Phase 2 of the ‘Know Ball Games Consultation’ is open

Survey for Phase 2 of the Know Ball Games Consultation is open

If you are a resident or a service user of Queens Park (Court, Estate and Gardens), Hallfield Estate or Churchill Gardens, then we want to hear from you!

Westminster Council aims to strengthen a culture of play, physical activity, leisure, and sport across our Lives, Neighbourhoods and City.

We appreciate that some behaviours of others can be frustrating to some residents, and this may be reflected in feedback and community perception, however supporting children and families to play outdoors, in the street, communal areas and open spaces is not antisocial behaviour and will contribute to significant health benefits.

The project will review restrictive signage and byelaws such as ‘No Ball Games’ and ‘No Cycling’ signs and look to replace / remove these where appropriate.   

In this second phase, the survey aims to gather views from residents and service users of the three selected pilot locations Queens Park (Court, Estate and Gardens), Hallfield Estate and Churchill Gardens.

The questionnaire includes feedback on suggestions we heard during Phase 1 of the consultation so that we can come up with an effective solution that allows more people to lead healthy and active lives in Westminster.

Your views are important to us, so please take the survey.

Take the Survey

Visit the ‘Know Ball Games in Westminster’ page to find out more about the whole pilot and consultation process.

Stepping to the Beat on Monday 4th Sep 2023

by

Stepping to the Beat - the 3km walk, jog or run event taking place on Sep 4 2023

Stepping to the Beat  is a 3km jog, run or wheel event for residents with learning disability/autism, families and support workers.

The new edition this year will take place on Monday 4th September at the usual location, Regents Park.

Stepping to the Beat 2022

The course is set to 3km that participants can walk, run or wheel while playing instruments and sounds.  The event, in its consecutive 11th year, is an inclusive and welcoming event that encourages those with physical and learning disabilities to be more physically active. The event includes making sounds and noises as we go through the park. The Beat is contagious. The atmosphere, soul lifting.

Stepping to the Beat was created over 10 years ago and developed and directed by Claudia Linton, Care Manager – Planning & Information Coordinator from the Westminster Learning Disability Partnership Adult Services. This event has quickly become a celebration, a life-affirming, music-based event the Adult Social care team in Westminster City Council and ActiveWestminster are massively proud of.
