THE NATIONAL YOUTH AGENCY: Youthinformation.com looks at ... homezones
Wednesday, January 29, 2003
Home Zones can incorporate areas for children's play and provide environmental improvements and facilities such as seats for elderly residents and parents to meet.
At the moment there is no specific legislation supporting Home Zones in the UK. However, the government has given its support to nine pilot Home Zone schemes across England and Wales and the Scottish Parliament will be initiating three pilots in Scotland. In addition to the pilot schemes there are many other local areas which are setting up and working towards the Home Zone ideals.
