macutd Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I see Melbourne rd was closed today. Looking down I could see a gazebo and about 3 children playing.It is a regular occurrence that it's closed for the the locals to play on the street. (Which is a good thing) but does 2 or three kids warrant it so often? Especially as it is such an important rd.

singalto Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 It was a national street play day. My road was also closed but it was only for a few hours.

Galileo Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 It was closed for 3 hours 3-6 pm for a play out, in conjunction with London Car Free Day. There were posters at both ends of the street explaining this. I assume you came past at the start when we were setting up but for most of it there were in excess of 20 kids and slightly fewer adults, all having a wonderful time playing with their neighbours and enjoying their freedom. It?s a residential street with lots of kids living on it. Sorry if those few hours made your journey a little longer and thank you from my three kids who had a wonderful time with their friends!

TE44 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I passed through the street today. There was at least 15 kids, different ages, playing on the street. It was a joy to see, and a chance to spend time with neighbours.
