Description:"Vote Yes" reads the spray painted words on the roller blind of a shop in the Bell Barn Shopping Centre off Cregoe Street in Lee Bank. The message was encouraging local residents to vote in favour of the block transfer of local council housing to Optima Community Association.

The transfer did go through and the Lee Bank area became subject to massive redevelopment, which as of Summer 2006 is still ongoing. The shopping centre was demolished last year.
