IN reply to the LET (June 15), I disagree with football being encouraged in the street.

We live in a cul-de-sac and the kids play football after school and at weekends 52 weeks of the year.

We try to keep a nice garden, the ball is everywhere, bouncing off cars, and it becomes hooliganism.

The people who do agree with it must live in a house within its own grounds.

I wonder if they would like to be aggravated day in day out.

I also thought that it was a road offence for football games within a built up area.
