For those of you that don't already know,

Street Play involves local residents closing off their street for a few hours

so that children have a chance to play in the street safely.

She started it in her own street, Beechwood Road,

and the idea caught on,

and there are now Street Play Schemes all over the city.

9

So when did you actually start the scheme, Alice?

那么你什么时候真正开始这个计划的，爱丽丝？
10

Well, I first had the idea when my oldest child was still a toddler,

嗯，当我最大的孩子还是个小孩时，我第一次有了这个想法，
11

so that's about six years ago now,

那是大约六年前的事了
12

but it took at least two years of campaigning before we were actually able to make it happen.

但我们至少花了两年的时间才真正实现这一目标。
13

So the scheme's been up and running for three years now.

We'd love to be able to close our road for longer,

15

for the whole weekend, from Saturday morning until Sunday evening, for example.

16

At the moment it's just once a week.

18

But we're working on it.

So what actually happens when Beechwood Road is closed?

20

We have volunteer wardens,

21

mostly parents but some elderly residents too,

22

who block off our road at either end.

23

The council have provided special signs

but there's always a volunteer there to explain what's happening to any motorists.

25

Generally, they're fine about it,

26

we've only had to get the police involved once or twice.

27

Now I should explain that the road isn't completely closed to cars.

28

But only residents' cars are allowed.

29

If people really need to get in or out of Beechwood Road,

30

it's not a problem,

as long as they drive at under 20 kilometres per hour.

But most people just decide not to use their cars during this time,

33

or they park in another street.

The wardens are only there to stop through traffic.

We want to include all kids in the city,

It's here that demand is greatest.

Obviously, there isn't such demand in wealthier areas

41

where the children have access to parks or large gardens,

孩子们可以进入公园或大花园，
42

or in the suburbs where there are usually more places for children to play outside.

或者在郊区，那里通常有更多可供孩子们户外玩耍的地方。
43

I'd recommend that anyone listening who likes the idea should just give it a go.

44

We've been surprised by the positive reaction of residents all over the city.

even if it does get quite noisy.

Parents really like the fact that the kids are getting fresh air

52

instead of sitting staring at a computer screen,

而不是坐在那里盯着电脑屏幕，

even if they're not doing anything particularly energetic.

54

And of course it's great that kids can play with their friends outside without being supervised by their parents,

当然，孩子们可以在没有父母监督的情况下与朋友一起在外面玩耍，这真是太好了，
55

but for me the biggest advantage is that kids develop confidence in themselves to be outside without their parents.

但对我来说，最大的好处是孩子们对自己有信心在没有父母陪伴的情况下外出。
56

The other really fantastic thing is that children get to know the adults in the street,

另一件真正奇妙的事情是孩子们可以认识街上的成年人，
57

it's like having a big extended family.

58

It certainly does have a lot of benefits.

59

I want to move on now and ask you about a related project in King Street.

we thought there'd be fewer people out shopping, not more.
