The removal of sheds, toilets, water tanks and other items belonging to vendors located along the seawall between Camp Road and Vlissengen Road, has left them angry and frustrated.

The removal operation was preceded by a visit by Minister of Public Works, Juan Edghill last Wednesday where he met with vendors who ply their trade along the seawall. He told them that those with a permit can continue to vend as long as they remain in compliance with the vending agreement.

Stabroek News visited the area yesterday and spoke to several vendors who been operating on the seawall for as long as 20 years. They expressed their dissatisfaction with the dismantling of their structures.
