Vendors of the East Ruimveldt Market are upset with a Local Government Ministry decision to greenlight rehabilitation works that requires them to vacate the area at a time when they usually see an increase in sales.
When Sunday Stabroek visited the market yesterday, some of the vendors were at their stalls operating, while some were surrounded by caution tape in the areas where works are to be done.
The vendors related to this newspaper that the rehabilitation works began on Friday and from what they have been told, the Mayor and City Council (M&CC) was not informed that works would have been starting in December.
