Police have been slammed for sending a "ridiculous" letter to residents warning that children could face legal action for playing football in the street.
Cops trying to clamp down on anti-social behaviour sent the letter out in Warndon Villages, Worcester, saying ball games in the street will not be tolerated.
Locals have criticised the "aggressive" tone of the warning which they say is targeting kids under 10 as they are the only ones who play football outdoors.
