Following consultation, we have decided not to proceed with the Offord Street Play Street.
The council received an application from local residents for Offord Street to become a Play Street from 2.00pm-5.00pm every Sunday, with effect from February 2026.
Play Street events are short, stewarded road closures, giving children the chance to play safely near home and making the street feel safer and friendlier for everyone. Residents of all ages, with or without children, will be welcome to come out and enjoy the street free of traffic for this time. Parents/carers will be responsible for their own children as normal. Through-traffic will be diverted but residents and visitors wanting to park on the street will be asked to drive in and out at walking speed, escorted by a volunteer steward from the street. Residents will not be asked to move their cars from the street.
As part of this process, we sought the views of residents who live on the street through an online survey that ran from 12 November 2025 to 2 December 2026.
