King says no vending to be permitted along section of Alexander St

Some of the vendors who gathered in the Council’s chambers for the meeting yesterday.

Weeks after the Mayor and City Council stopped vendors from illegally trading along a section of Alexander Street, between Robb and Regent streets in Georgetown, Town Clerk Royston King yesterday declared that no vending would be permitted along that part of the road.

King made the announcement during a meeting in the Council’s chambers with farmers and wholesale and retail vendors.

Following their removal from the street, the vendors had formed themselves into a delegation and visited the Mayor for a meeting with the markets committee and the city administration to formulate a suitable vending arrangement.
