I don't have a huge problem with this as long as it is done correctly. I didn't go to the first one and probably won't go this time either but I see no reason why the pop-up shops cannot be at the end of the road, adjacent to the North-west corner of the stadium. Cars could drive in through Don Street and queue up if necessary without people having to get out of them until they reach the shop. They then place their order, pay and get back in their cars, exiting onto the main road. Very limited interaction and considerably less than at the supermarkets despite their amazing efforts.

I was thinking along the same lines but if it leads to people making 'unnecessary' trips, having 'unnecessary' road accidents, calling upon 'unnecessary' emergency/health services...Unlikely I know but no different than not wanting people out and about in cars doing sightseeing when there's no need for them to be. I'd love to be able to get 5lb of sausage for that price but won't be taking an 'unnecessary' 5,000 mile flight

The reason I will probably not go CA is that I live 6 miles away and there are other places nearer that I could get to for my food needs. If I lived a bit closer then I would definitely give it some serious thoughts, especially if it was organised as I suggested.

There are ways round it like you say Tony but it needs managing properly I dont think you can just chuck a kiosk up an d have no rules for purchasing from it in this day and age.

At a time when police are asking to Gov to tighten regulation on lockdowns coming into the Easter weekend.

Quote Guardian "Police chiefs want the government to consider toughening coronavirus lockdown restrictions, the Guardian has learned, as they head into the Easter bank holiday weekend with concerns that a growing minority will flout the rules."
