The Ministry of Public Works (MoPW) yesterday issued its final notice to vendors occupying spaces opposite the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) on New Market Street.
According to the press release, vendors between Thomas and East streets are being asked to remove all makeshift stalls, sheds, carts, caravans, motor vehicles, and other receptacles used for vending.
These vendors, an earlier notice had stated, have been impeding the smooth flow of traffic in the vicinity of the Georgetown Public Hospital, the main public health institution in the country. MoPW had served “Violation Notices”, giving the vendors seven days to vacate the area. Vendors were reminded that the seven-day period had expired. Teams from the ministry began the removal process yesterday.
