From TFA:
"It is not enforceable by police - officers could not stop or fine people scrolling in the street because there is no national law against smartphones"
"Young people in the village complained there were not enough facilities for teenagers who had little to amuse them but their phones. The mayor has promised a film club, book exchanges and facilities for sport."
But one kid complains he "uses the GPS for finding his way" (in a village of less than 2000 people)
