Taxi drivers operating within the vicinity of Demico House and the Stabroek Market Square on Thursday protested in front of the Public Buildings for definite word on the city’s plans for their operations.
The protest, staged by approximately 40 taxi drivers, coincided with Thursday’s sitting of the National Assembly and sought to highlight their concerns to parliamentarians.
The operators told Stabroek News that the future of their operations is unknown as they have not received any word from the city administration, which recently removed hundreds of vendors from the Stabroek Market Square. They noted that after the massive clean-up was undertaken by the Mayor and City Council two Sundays ago, they have been prevented from parking in front of Demico House due to large garbage skips left on the western side of the complex.
