SNP MSP urges councils to tear down ‘no ball games’ signs

“NO BALL GAMES” signs are “anti-fun” and should be torn down, MSP Ruth Maguire said today.

Ms Maguire said Scottish kids need more space for children and young people to play and urged councils to act.

The SNP MSP said removing such signs, which often appear on green spaces and on housing estates, would help improve childhood mental and physical health.
