What legal rights do children have over neighbours who refuse to return footballs kicked into their gardens?[/b]As always couldn't resist the urge to try and plug the site!
so I replied...


In response to J.Radcliffes letter about children and their missing footballs,

If you visit www.nfh.org.uk (neighbours from Hell in Britain, an internet support group) you will read many stories about children "losing" footballs into neighbours gardens.

One member recently reported to the group that they have been told they must return any such toy, even though there is a possibility that these balls and toys have been deliberately been kicked over their fence.

If you would like advice and support on any form of neighbour dispute or nuisance, and children inappropriately playing falls into this category, then please come and join the forum board.

It is free to join and is run by people who have and are experiencing neighbourhood problems.

Yes Beth, well done&#33; http://www.nfh.org.uk/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

Let&#39;s keep fingers crossed that they print the reply. They should do as it&#39;s got "new" information - or the Guardian may contact the site for a bigger picture?

Mmm now there&#39;s a thought.

Ooooooh, that reminds me, I e-mailed the Guardian the other week (alongside about 30 others&#33; http://www.nfh.org.uk/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif) with our informal poll results. That would match up nicely for them if they spot the connection.
