Work to increase the number of street play weekends in Glasgow to continue

The city can take full advantage of free road closures to allow children to play in a traffic free environment.

The number of street play weekends, where communities in the south, west and east of the city take full advantage of free road closures to allow children to play in a traffic free environment, has reduced from four to two as a result of the pandemic.

“While the programme could be seen to be growing in 2018 and 2019, applications for street play events following the pandemic have reduced.” Councillor Millar added: “As convenor I have already tasked officers with scoping out new proposals to expand the number of street play weekends in future years and officers have begun a review to allow this to take place.

“This work will be carried out over the course of the year with a view for an updated street play programme to be launched in January 2024 and that will be reported to committee.”
