New vending plan to be unveiled in St Lucia capital
'The city must look like a city,' says Castries mayor
Monday, 29th May 2017
The Castries Constituency Council is set to unveil a new plan for vending in the city.
The plan calls for the removal of all metal stalls on city sidewalks and a new policy restricting stalls from being left on the roadside overnight, according to Mayor Peterson Francis.
He added that the council was implementing a uniformed plan to make Castries clean and attractive.
The current iron stalls pose a danger to the public, he said.
“So you will come in the morning, set up your thing, you are leaving and you will go with your stuff.
“The city must look like a city.”
Parking meters
The city council plans to hold a meeting with city vendors to apprise them of the new plans ahead of its implementation.
Another measure planned in an effort to improve the look of the city is the installation of parking meters.
They have already been ordered, Francis said, and would arrive in St Lucia soon.
