A massive clean-up exercise is slated for Sunday, March 26 at Stabroek Market to kick start the government’s efforts in positioning the popular vending hub into an area conducive to conducting business.
Minister of Local Government, Nigel Dharamlall visited the market Wednesday, where he conducted a thorough inspection and engaged several vendors ahead of this exercise.
Enhancement works including repairs to the roof of the fish bay area and to the restroom facilities, desilting of the drains in the market, and excavating outlets currently clogged with garbage, among others, will be undertaken to bring relief to vendors.
Minister Dharamlall also committed to seeking the redeployment of more police officers to bolster the five-man team that is currently at the market. He is also looking to re-establish the vendors’ committee to improve representation, as well as implement daily garbage removal, and policies to strengthen facility management.
