The Ministry of Public Works has extended an invitation to vendors who ply their trade along the Kingston Seawall, Georgetown, to meet to discuss the ongoing road project, Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill told Stabroek News on Friday.
According to the Ministry of Public Works, Sea Defence Department notice to vendors, the meeting will be held today at the Ministry of Public Works, Fort Street, Kingston, Sea Defence Board Room.
The notice stated that the meeting will be held in connection with vendor occupancy of the Georgetown Seawall reserves located between Camp and Vlissengen roads. A vendor, who did not wish to be named, told Stabroek News that they were required to pay $10,000 per month to the Sea Defence Department for the spots they are occupying. However, last November they were told by the head of the department that their monthly dues will not be collected until further notice.
