It is the introduction of 'Stop and Shop' drive in bays cut into pavements along busy shopping routes and major street markets. <br><br> This 'pay as you go' system would eliminate congestion and put money in Council coffers It would help to revive the local economy by encouraging drivers to stop and shop locally without worry, it is a winner for everyone. <br><br> Tesco started from here with an empty wheelbarrow and no money, his simple idea built an empire, an example for others to follow and good news for 'STOP AND SHOP' too. <br><br><br> <center><iframe width="560" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/oVsgHP7el_k" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></CENTER> <br><br> </TD></TR></TABLE></center> <br><br><br> <center> <h5>LEA Heritage<br> GUESTBOOK</h5> <TABLE BORDER=1 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=2> <TR> <TD WIDTH="80" BGCOLOR="#000060""> <center><FONT face="ArialNarrow" SIZE=2 color="00ffff"><B>VISITORS</B></FONT><BR> <a href="http://www.tower-bridge.org.uk/gba2.htm" onClick="popwin(this.href,this.target,300,350,'resize',''); return false;"><IMG src="bookqill.gif" width=80 height=58></A><br><FONT face="ArialNarrow" SIZE=2 color="00ffff"><B>GUESTBOOK</B></font></center> </TD></TR></TABLE> <br><br><br> </TD></TR></TABLE></center> </BODY> </BODY> </HTML>
