Who Is Liable? Kids Kicking The Footballs Or The Council Who Installed The Goal?
My garden backs onto a Recreation Ground and there is a goal at the bottom of my garden. The goal has a sign saying for under 12's only but older youths play there and kick the balls over a high fence into my garden. Can I take action against the Council for putting a goal there?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I used to have children playing football at the back of my house, the garage doors made a perfect goal mouth. I didn't mind them playing there but the ball was coming into my garden twenty/ thirty times an evening. It also took four of them to climb the wall to retrieve it. I made a sign which read any balls that land in my garden will be kept and owners can collect them on Sunday evenings. It was amazing how quickly their football skills improved.
If this goes to court (which it won't unless you go to Judge Riender!!) the council will ask what have they done to counter act this - they will state that they have given you a bigger fence - judge will be satisfied!

How long has the recreation ground been there?
