“Vendors are essential to our city, you are entrepreneurs who consistently come out despite the weather to do business and that must be commended” he stated.
His Worship during the exercise indicated that the Council will continue to monitor vendors and will not encourage illegal structures. He indicated that the Council has engaged the Guyana Police Force to assist the City Constabulary in enforcement.
