IELTS Cambridge 15 — Listening Test 3 - Part 2 - Chép chính tả

My guest on the show today is Alice Riches who started the Street Play scheme where she lives in Beechwood Road 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 streets 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 So when did you actually start the scheme Alice Well I first had the idea when my oldest child was still a toddler so that's about six years ago now but it took at least two years of campaigning before we were actually able to make it happen So the scheme's been up and running for three years now We'd love to be able to close our road for longer for the whole weekend from Saturday morning until Sunday evening for example At the moment it's just once a week but when we started it was only once a month but we're working on it So what actually happens when Beechwood Road is closed We have volunteer wardens mostly parents but some elderly residents too who block off our road at either end The council have provided special signs but there's always a volunteer there to explain what's happening to any motorists
