IN response to Lyn Jones' letter in January 16’s edition of the Globe, should we really ban football on fields?

Maybe have the kids play in roads - against cars maybe?

A very sensible idea.

After going to Red Rocks and Hoylake beaches with my girlfriend and three-year-old in the summer, I was amazed how much dog dirt there was on our beaches, also dogs off leads running up to us while where trying to have a picnic.

It's time to keep all dogs on leads and heavily fine owners that don't abide or clean up after their dogs.
