Speke Kids Demand Their Right to Play | Liverpool News
Description
Kids and families in Speke are taking over community meetings demanding a long-overdue park, arguing their neighborhood of 15,000 residents — including 4,000 children — has been neglected for decades, with no safe place to play. Once home to a 14-acre park sold for a supermarket and school, the area now sees kids forced to drive miles for playgrounds. The children themselves are leading the charge, citing UN child rights and calling for swings, slides, and open fields. With £20 million from the government’s Pride in Place fund potentially on the table, and local landlord South Liverpool Homes actively consulting residents, the campaign is gaining momentum — pushing for a dedicated park to finally give kids a place to play safely.
