In an effort to improve the security and aesthetics of the area around the Public Buildings, the Mayor and City Council is considering the removal of a structure west of it, which houses several vendors, according to Town Clerk Royston King.
Speaking to Stabroek News yesterday, King said, “There is a structure on the immediate west of Parliament building, which was used in times past as a gas station and is now being used by an assortment of vendors. We are very worried about that structure.”
King explained that apart from it being a very unsanitary environment, “where people urinate around it,” it is becoming more of a public security risk and the council is very concerned since parliamentary sittings go very late into the night.
Currently the city is trying to contact the person the building was leased to, King explained.
