Three years after rehabilitation works began on the Kitty Market, vendors are still unsure about when they can return to ply their trade.
Speaking to Stabroek News yesterday, some vendors said that while they understand that the works on the market are continuing, the Georgetown Mayor and City Council has not given them any concrete information as to when they can expect the upgrades to be completed. Several weeks ago, a $17.7 million contract was awarded to BML Architects and Engineers to resume and complete works in Phase One of the project.
Grocery vendor, Sherry (only name given), said that she is hoping that they can move over to the market by January next year. She emphasised that from her observations, the contractor is pushing to get the work completed in a timely manner.
