Some vendors whose stalls are situated in the Stabroek Market were yesterday affected by high tides which caused flooding in sections of the market.
Vendors whose stalls are located just off the Stabroek Wharf on Monday afternoon saw water flood that section of the market which caused severe inconvenience to their business. Vendors believe that coupled with the high tide, one of the main drainage systems was blocked.
When Stabroek News visited the market yesterday, water was seen covering a section of the Stabroek Wharf and vendors stated that they had to clean the area after some of the water was drained out of the market. A pump system was observed within that section of the market as vendors reported that it was placed there to assist in taking the water out of the market faster.
