Families are being urged to back turning over their streets for play and children – at least for one day.

Richmond Council is encouraging participation in the a London-wide Play Street scheme that will see cars removed to make way for fun and games – much as happened with the Platinum Jubilee street parties.

As part of National Car Free Day, the Council is waiving the administration costs for road closures on Saturday, September 24, or Sunday, September 25, offering residents the chance to close their roads to through-traffic and allow kids to play outside and have fun with their friends, family and neighbours.

The Play Street programme is part of a London wide campaign by London Play and Transport for London. The deadline to submit an application is Sunday, August 14.

Council Leader, Councillor Gareth Roberts, said: "Pre-pandemic, Richmond upon Thames was always one of the boroughs with the most the Play Streets in London.

"Following the recent success of Jubilee street parties in the borough, I hope this year's Play Streets will see a high number of roads taking up the offer to make streets into a fun filled area for kids to play in."
