Parents got time to chat to neighbours and children could skip, chalk and play tennis on the street to their hearts’ content when Thirlestane Road was closed on Sunday morning.

The parents had asked the council for permission, the council provided barriers and road closed signs, the weather was fair, and everyone had a lovely time. Cllr Ben Parker called by to watch the children at play. The purpose of the event at the corner of Spottiswoode Street was not only to offer children a safe place to play, but also to celebrate the reopening earlier in the week of Warrender Swim Centre.
