No permission granted for vending along Cricket Carnival parade route – Mayor

The call to vendors posted on the office Cricket Carnival Facebook page

Georgetown Mayor Ubraj Narine has said no permission has been given by the city council for vending along Vlissengen road during the planned Cricket Carnival road march on Sunday.

“I have noted with concern a Cricket Carnival poster which has invited vendors to occupy spots along Vlissengen road. The Council has not seen an application for demarcation of spots for vending along the route and as such has not given permission for this activity,” Narine said in a statement issued on Tuesday. 

A post on the official Cricket Carnival Facebook page alerted vendors that spots were available along Vlissengen Road, the main route of the parade, on Sunday.
