Another confrontation between urban vendors and the Georgetown City Council may well be brewing as the municipality prepares to take action to clear up at least some of the vending congestion outside Stabroek Market.
The municipality is scheduled to formally open the Stelling View Mall south of the Central Fire Station at the end of July and the sixty-odd vendors who have been identified for re-location to the Mall are far from happy. They consider the move to pose a potential threat to the viability of their respective enterprises given the fact that other vendors will remain on the busy Stabroek Market thoroughfare, giving them priority access to customers.
Official moves to clear up the vending congestion outside Stabroek Market accelerated earlier this year following a grenade explosion
