Yes, ball games: drive to take down signs warning against play begins in London

Charity says thousands of signs on capital's estates deter children from being active, and is covering some of them up

A campaign to bring down thousands of no ball games" signs across London - and eventually across the UK - has launched with a more ball games" takeover on a Lambeth housing estate.

The new signs, which show basketball hoops, were designed by the inequality charity London Sport, working with the advertising giant Saatchi & Saatchi, and are being put over no ball games" signs on the Mursell estate in Stockwell with support from Lambeth council.
