Relocation of La Penitence vendors on hold

No decision has been made on vendors facing removal from the La Penitence Market and some of them are still awaiting a meeting with President Bharrat Jagdeo that was supposed to be held a month ago.

Last October, vendors were told that they would have to move, in keeping with plans to turn Saffon Street into a two-way road to ease traffic congestion during peak hours.

On Thursday, a visit to the market found vendors conducting business as usual. Some still expressed concern about whether or not they will have to be moved while others were grateful that no decision has been made. “They gah we on hold,”
