Great! Since motorists have literally driven children from our streets

to play in.

The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (Nice)
handed out the advice as part of new draft guidelines for promoting
children's health by making sure they get more exercise.

But the car parks proposal will be seen as misfire, coming as it does
after the mass sell-off of more than 300 school playing fields last
year alone..."
