Charity vendors dissatisfied with new location
stalls on the new tarmac
One week after they were forced to stop vending on the Charity Public Road, irritate vendors have assembled at the tarmac. They were removed from the Charity Public Road last Thursday by workmen attached at the Ministry of Public Works.
The vendors are complaining that vending on the new site has not brought about any comfort to their lives; instead it has become uncomfortable.
Sabita Singh, a vendor who has been at both the Anna Regina and Charity markets for a number of years, said that she gained most of her revenue when she operated on the Charity Public Road.
The irate vendor said that there is a toilet in the vicinity on the tarmac that is smelly. “Vending for us presently at the new site is uncomfortable; the space separating each stall is small and all we seeing presently is vendors like our self, no customers.”
Another vendor, Mrs. Persaud, said that at present, vending on the tarmac makes it difficult for customers to find them. “It’s boring behind here.”
Vendors also complained about poor sanitary facilities, feeble electricity, inadequate security, and poor drainage.
An official attached to the NDC said that water, electricity and a fence are to be soon installed at the new market site.
Vendors were evacuated from the shoulders of the Charity Public Road on Monday where they had operated for a number of years.
