City councillor denies giving permission for construction of vending place

APNU city councillor Heston Bostwick on Monday denied a claim that he granted permission for the construction of a vending place. 

Bostwick issued the denial amidst a row with Mayor Ubraj Narine at the council’s statutory meeting, which was held at the Kitty Market.

The heated row stemmed from a proposal made by Bostwick for the processing of a specific application to be sped up. The Mayor noted that a young woman had visited his office about the very application and he had directed her to go back to the person who sent her.
