Yesterday, vendors used their beach chairs, umbrellas, tents and anything else they could find to block the street in Jolly Harbour outside of the Castaways Restaurant.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The action was spurred after they arrived at the area where they plied their trade and met their usual access gate to the beach padlocked.<\/p>\n

In addition, specific instructions had been left at the first active Jolly Harbour security checkpoint not to allow anyone to drive down to the beach.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cBlack people have rights too! Not just Bodog!\u201d said one of the vendors.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cThis morning we came to work and asked the security as to who is going to open the gate [and] he said to me \u2018we don\u2019t have the key and I have no idea where the keys are\u2019.” explained Sonya Williams, vendor.<\/p>\n

She said that she thinks that it\u2019s the security that\u2019s working at Castaways Restaurant that now has the key.<\/p>
