City councillors to meet Stabroek wharf vendors on relocation

City councillors will be meeting with vendors who sell at the dilapidated Stabroek Market wharf and in the surrounding area on a plan to relocate them ahead of scheduled rehabilitation works in the first quarter of 2018.

Sections of the roof of the wharf had collapsed in September, 2014, and in March, 2015, but vendors continue to ply their trade despite the danger posed by the deteriorating structure.

During a statutory city council meeting on Monday, Town Clerk Royston King said that the meeting would be held tomorrow at 10 am at City Hall. He told councillors that not only would they be able to provide information to the vendors on the plans for their relocation, but the vendors would be allowed the opportunity to air their concerns and make suggestions.
