Street Play Scheme
PRESENTER:
My guest on the show today is Alice Riches who started the Street Play Scheme where she lives in
Beechwood Road. For those of you that don’t already know – Street Play involves local residents closing
off their street for a few hours so that children have a chance to play in the street safely.
She started it in
her own street, Beechwood Road,
and the idea caught on, and there are now Street Play Schemes all
over the city. So when did you actually start the scheme, Alice?
ALICE:
Well, I first had the idea when my oldest
child was still a toddler, so that’s about six years ago now – but it
took at least two years of campaigning before we were actually able to make it happen.
