The project and associated consultation is led by Westminster City Council.
 
 In April 2019, Westminster City Council introduced a temporary Play Street scheme, as part of the My Westminster ActiveStreets programme, in Northumberland Place (between Talbot Road and Artesian Road)  to:

• improve air quality; and
• create an environment for children to play.

As a result of the temporary Play Street scheme, Westminster City Council proposed to make Northumberland Place a permanent Play Street in August 2021. After previous consultations with stakeholders (May – June 2021), there are now two design options proposed that require your feedback. Full details can be found at https://northumberlandplace.commonplace.is/

We want to hear your views on a proposed play street on Northumberland Place between Talbot Road and Artesian Road. The play street would give pedestrians priority over traffic during 

the Spring and Summer months each year. The impact of opening up streets for children to 

play and for the community to get together has been shown to build a higher sense of trust and 

belonging, allowing people of all ages and walks of life to connect with each other and lead active, healthy and happy lives.

The play street would give pedestrians priority over traffic during the Spring and Summer 

months each year. During the Autumn and Winter, the traffic would have priority. The timings and the way it will operate are being developed. Help us to develop the proposals further and choose a preferred option by having your say and giving us your feedback. 

During these periods, the Play Street would be restricted to through vehicles, except for access to properties within the location. 

Please note that your responses to the following questions, comments and drop-in session are subject to review and the final design will be chosen by Westminster City Council’s Sport, Leisure and Active Communities Team and will be subject to Cabinet Member approval. Please refer to Milestones for further details.
