Some 40 angry Bourda Market stallholders marched down to City Hall yesterday, where they accused the Mayor and City Council (M&CC) and the Public Health Department of dragging their feet in the post-flood cleanup and sanitizing of the market.
Record rainfall on Thursday resulted in the market being flooded, like the rest of the city, and it could not be opened for business.
On Thursday and throughout the weekend, some vendors in the ‘green’ (vegetable/fruit section) quickly set up mobile stands along North Road and Robb Street, which made it difficult for vehicular traffic to get by. However, stallholders in the market itself were denied access into the market.
