Barbers and cosmetologists who operate along the Merriman Mall were on Friday told to literally clean up their acts if a proposal is to be made to the City Council for them to continue operating at the location.
They had been relocated to the Merriman Mall strip between Light and Cummings streets last year from the pavements of America, Longden, Regent and Croal streets after City Hall had embarked on a cleanup campaign.
In January, however, at a statutory meeting, the council passed a motion giving those barbers and cosmetologists operating at the Merriman Mall until July 31 to find themselves in enclosed spaces.
