The Leonora Market tarmac on the West Coast Demerara in Region Three has been completed and the vendors now have the benefit of a more spacious and enabling business environment, a Department of Public Information (DPI) release stated yesterday.
It boasts sanitary facilities, upgraded drainage, and a dedicated parking lot for the convenience of both vendors and customers, it added.
The decision to move ahead with this project was a result of a visit from President Irfaan Ali back in 2022, where he observed the challenges faced by the market. An influx of vendors had created congestion and impacted established vendors. In response to these concerns, the President initiated a plan to construct the new tarmac and upgrade the access road.
