It was brilliant!! Thanks so much!

Sad to hear this. Culture-change is needed to ensure girls feel equally safe and welcome in these spaces and activities (see also ball cages, skate parks…), rather than simply creating alternative spaces and assuming girls don’t want to do these “boy” activities!

"This carnage has to stop, and we need a master plan, a vision from a visionary mayor who wants our streets to be the envy of the world. Nobody is envying us today, Zohran," Mary Beth Kelly, a founder of Families for Safe Streets, said at Wednesday's die-in protest. buff.ly/Ww5NZXH

Hope I never grow tired of balloons! A shame the peaceful puffing is drowned out by microfoils. And the traffic 😩 How about from 2027 a private-motor-free #balloonfiesta - you can come by public transport, food, wheels, horse or balloon? @bristol247.bsky.social @bristolgreenparty.bsky.social

Lots on BBC News today about play streets and the wider issues. We are asking @andyburnham.bsky.social for a new play strategy that includes safe streets and doorstep spaces where children can play out everyday. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Leeds: The city closing down streets so children can play

In Leeds, streets are being temporarily closed to traffic so kids have more space to safely play - an initiative proving beneficial to both children and adults.

Genuine question. Why do people sit with the engine running in car parks, when it’s not especially hot or cold outside? Do modern cars not have the battery to power a radio, or are they just ready to make a quick getaway?

Does @theguardian.com maybe want to replace this old photo, showing previous West of England Mayor Dan Norris **who is under investigation for child sex offences and rape** in prime position outside no10, with a more up to date one??!! Wtaf. @pippacrerar.bsky.social

Thanks to Alison and all who have backed this call for our new Prime Minister to ban “No Ball Games” signs and enable play streets, as key steps towards restoring children’s doorstep play.

Alice Ferguson @aliceferguson.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

"No Ball Games" signs are a blight on children's lives, deterring them from playing out in their communities, outside and active. Wonderful speech by @ianbyrnemp.bsky.social calling on UK Government to ban such signs nationally, following years of campaigning by @playingout.bsky.social and allies.

Imagine if the woman in white was a small child, just getting used to being out and about on the street. It's not hard to imagine them being bumped off the pavement into the road.

Alice Ferguson @aliceferguson.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

If that woman had been a small child, they could have easily got pushed into the road.

Really enjoying Day 2 of the @cleancitiescampaign.org Curious Cities Assembly. Earlier we heard from @aliceferguson.bsky.social, @ianwalker.bsky.social and Tim Gill about how children are the most impacted but the least considered when it comes to our streets and public realm.

@robbryher.bsky.social @edplowden.bsky.social The 1st photo is Granby Hill - the 2nd one Boyces Ave “pedestrianised” zone in Clifton Village (not a one-off). But bigger point is drivers gonna just park up wherever they physically can!

Alice Ferguson @aliceferguson.bsky.social · 03/05/2026

It’s not feasible to have cameras or traffic wardens full-time on every street, so if drivers can’t manage to stick to the (vast amount of) space allocated to them, they need to be physically blocked from doing things like this.

As @timrgill.bsky.social says, there are 2 groups whose interests overlap around the issue of children and cars: those who care about children’s well-being and those who care about better streets. If you fall into one or both of these, please find time to listen to this chat (and read our report!)

New episode up! Streets can be more than places to move and store cars—they can be places for children to thrive. Alice Ferguson and Tim Gill call for a “radical, child-centric approach to transport policy and planning.” That would change everything for all of us. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...
