Vendors who ply their trade around Demico House, Stabroek have received letters from the Mayor and City Council (M&CC) demanding their immediate removal. They have expressed shock at the suddenness of the missive and the fact that the M&CC has not provided them with an alternative.
In February, at the 68th Annual Shareholders Meeting, Chairman of Banks DIH Clifford Reis had said that the company had made numerous efforts to have the vendors operating around the premises removed but to no avail. Reis had said that Demico House was losing money and the facilities were being abused.
Yesterday, Stabroek News spoke to five of the vendors.
