Mayor of the Town of Anna Regina, Rajendra Prabhulall, is maintaining that there will be no roadside vending from today and all vendors will be relocated to the Bush Lot market at Cotton Field.
He added that the council will be dismantling vendors’ stalls. However such an exercise was impossible yesterday after several vendors staged a protest outside the gates of the Anna Regina Town Council. Whilst the council was conducting their August statutory meeting inside, vendors stood outside in the sun with their placards for almost the entire day pleading with the council to allow them to vend.
The Anna Regina Town Council decided to move the vendors to facilitate development works that are currently ongoing in the Essequibo Coast township.
