Sand truck operators told no parking on East Bank road

A line of sand trucks parked in the vicinity of DSL Cash and Carry, Industrial Site, East Bank Demerara Public Road yesterday.

Truck drivers who sell sand on the shoulders of the East Bank of Demerara public road, outside Industrial Site, have been forced to move their operations.

The drivers said a “No Parking for Lorries” sign was painted on the road, although they were not served with any official notice by authorities.

They explained that on Monday morning when they arrived to ply their trade, they were greeted with the sign. Since the sign was painted on the road, they noted that traffic ranks already issued them with warnings against parking in the area.
