Over the last couple of years I’ve been working with Leeds City Council public health officers, local community organisations Fall Into Place and Kidz Klub, and Ludicology to explore and evaluate projects and plans to enable more play streets in Leeds’ “priority neighbourhoods”.

The report on my evaluation of the council’s 2021/22 Play Streets Enablement Project is now available here. If it’s tricky to download, email me alison.stenning@ncl.ac.uk and I can send over a copy.

There is also an additional report, led by Ben Tawil and Mike Barclay of Ludicology with Sally Hall and Naomi Roxby Wardle, reflecting on a related participatory action research project (“Play Streets in Leeds: Exploring Residents’ Views about Capacity, Capability and Possibility”) available here.
