Vendors operating in the Town of St. George have been relocated to the Market Square. This decision was taken at meetings conducted by the Ministry of Communication, Works and Transport officials with Vendors on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of last week. The Ministry, in response to concerns from pedestrians and motorists regarding the inconvenience and disruptions caused by the growing number of vendors operating on the streets of St. George’s, convened the meetings to consult with the vendors. It was decided that vendors be relocated to the Market Square to ease the congestion. As a result, from Monday December 13, vendors began operating from one section of the Market Square, while construction continues on another section. The vendors will operate from their present location until the completion of Phase One. The $3.5 million project commenced in November 2003 and is expected to be completed in early 2005.
