Vendors who plied their trade along the pavement at Muneshwers at Lot 9 and 10 Water, Commerce and Longden streets in Georgetown, were on Monday last ordered to remove.
A few of the vendors who spoke to the Stabroek News said that they were told by representatives of the Mayor and City Council (MCC) to vacate the area and complied. At the same time, the area was actively being monitored by patrolling ranks of the Guyana Police Force (GPF).
Speaking to the Stabroek News on Monday as well, Mayor of Georgetown Alfred Mentore said that at the next full council meeting, he would propose to have the vendors ply their trade along the road in a stipulated time. He however clarified that this would not be implemented overnight but will be explored and evaluated properly before actions are taken.
