IN your article (LET, August 20) about the Blackburn Council refusing a petition for a ban on ball games on landscaped areas of a housing estate, the reason was there were no by-laws to cover 'no games' signs and police were unable to enforce them.
I believe there are by-laws governing the playing of games on bowling greens, but no-one seems to be prepared to enforce them.
The position now is that bowlers are paying to play on the greens which are being wilfully damaged by youths playing football and paying nothing.
Could we have fair play please?
