Yes, ball games! Drive to take down signs begins in London
'No ball games' - there are thousands of such signs on housing estates across London, with many dating back to the 1970s, and almost all completely unenforceable. Now, a campaign to bring down the signs across London 鈥 and eventually across the UK 鈥 has launched with a 鈥渕ore ball games鈥 takeover on a Lambeth housing estate.
The new signs, which show basketball hoops, were designed by the inequality charity London Sport and are being put over 鈥渘o ball games鈥 signs on the Mursell estate in Stockwell with support from Lambeth council.
Our reporter Harry Low has been down there, and explained what he found to Claira Hermet on 麻豆社 Radio London.
