Several vendors yesterday gathered in front of the Mayor & City Council (M&CC) in renewed protests at plans to have them move from the corner of Robb Street and Bourda to enable the demolition of the Bedford building.
The Bedford building was sold to a businessman and will be demolished and a new structure erected. The plan for the new structure was not revealed. The move will displace about 20 vendors.
On Tuesday, the vendors operating in the area received notices from the City of Georgetown’s Market Department stating that they must remove from the present location (Bourda Street) and relocate to Orange Walk between Regent and Robb streets and this would take effect from today.
