| Comment | Back in the day, we played 'roon the backs'. The major changes in the past 30 years that have led to a lack of safe places for weans to play hasn't only been the increase in road use, it's been an increase in housing.
I came from Easterhouse and we were spoiled for space. Every block had a massive grassy area round the back about the size of 2 to 3 football pitches. We had zero need to play in the streets.
The increase in housing has led to them filling the old backs with as many houses as they can cram in. |
