New Amsterdam Market heading backwards – vendors

Vendors within the New Amsterdam Market are at their wits end with the conditions they are facing as a result of increased fees by the New Amsterdam Mayor and Town Council, harsh and rude treatment meted out to them by staffers and roadside vending by others.

Stabroek News tried for a  comment from Mayor Wainwright McIntosh on these matters to no avail.

Earlier this month, frustrated New Amsterdam Market vendors took to the streets in the township to protest against the Mayor and Town Council over a 100% hike in weekly stall and washroom prices.
