Vendors protest relocation from Stabroek Market square

Stabroek Market square vendors protesting their relocation yesterday outside of the Ministry of the Presidency.

Rejecting the city’s plans to relocate them from the Stabroek Market square, dozens of vendors yesterday staged a protest outside of the Ministry of the Presidency in hopes of getting a stay.

Angry and frustrated, the vendors became even more furious when they were denied an engagement with President David Granger.

During a meeting on Thursday, with hundreds of vendors at City Hall, Town Clerk Royston King had announced that they would be temporarily removed for four months to a vacant lot, south of the Public Buildings, to facilitate resurfacing, cleaning and reorganising of the bus and car parks and vending spots.
