Lemonade stand girl, 5, inundated with business offers

The father of a five year old girl, who was threatened with a fine for setting up a lemonade stand outside her house, says she鈥檚 been inundated with offers from places who want to host her stall.

Andre Spicer told 5 live鈥檚 Weekend Breakfast programme that his daughter had received offers from festivals, supermarkets and London鈥檚 Borough Market.

鈥淲e should be encouraging our kids to get out there and give things a go. To try out things like making a stand, or show short films they've made. Something, rather than just having them indoors all the time,鈥� Mr Spicer added.

Tower Hamlets Council has since apologised for issuing the fixed penalty notice and cancelled the fine.
