Ban on "no ball games" signs is addressing the problem from the easiest and worst possible angle. More than 400 playgrounds closed in England from 2012 to 2022 and annual park budgets have fallen Why are they bouncing balls near/against a house? Probably because there aren't enough affordable, easy to access sports centres/playgrounds etc nearby. Plus helicopter parents afraid of letting kids out of their sight Bouncing balls are low frequency noises and can drive someone insane and completely ruin the quiet enjoyment of their home. Those signs are perfectly valid to prevent anti-social noise pollution and prevent damage to property Let's undo the austerity cuts instead of forcing people's property exteriors into make-do ball courts
