Antigua Government Plans Crackdown on Disorderly Vending in St. John’s

1. Election done! Election win! Try to not love “foreigners” so much

2. We have heard and seen it all before. There is no pedestrian space within the vicinity of the Public Market and the West Bus Station terminal, as a matter of fact, aside from the poorly built sidewalks, there is no pedestrian space period in or out of the capital. One walks with God on the public roads. The “proposed measures” will expire within six months or less.

   The road leading to the East Bus Station at the back of the BUSH (botanical) Gardens is a death trap. And about that so called Botanical Gardens…

3. Well done!! 👏👏👏
   I’m pleased to see this finally taking a step. It should have been done a long time, but it’s better late than never. Everything is costly, but cleanliness and a decent presentation can still be achieved. Lets hope this can eventually come into force for the whole of Antigua.
   Businesses have the potential to do so much better, if they only find the motivation to come up with new ideas and present excellent customer service. Sometimes we need to help ourselves too!

   • @Mae. It would have been a better idea to not encourage higglers from Jamaica, Guyana and Dominican Republic to come to Antigua,then make them citizens so they can vote ABLP. The horse is already bolted so this is a waste of time.
     While they are it, clean up that Santo Domingan looking place south of where the tourist ships come in. What a slum!!!
     None of these will happen though because votes are more important to them.

     • Is better than for them to be stealing

4. FINALLY FINALLY ST JOHNS IS AN EYE SORE FOR A CAPITAL

   THESE FOREIGN VENDORS HAVE NO PRODE IN HOW THEY VEND….

   DILAPIDATED STRUCTURE RUBBISH EVERYWHERE ….cars can hardly pass pedestrian weaving in n out to get by

   A clean up from sjd should have already fix this

5. I will believe it when I see it start happening..
   It’s not the first we r hearing bout cabinet talking bout it..
   Am waiting

6. I pray this comes to fruition! It will he a blessed day!

7. I am still trying to figure out why they built a food market cause inside is empty.

8. I WOULD BE ABLE TO WALK ON THE SIDEWALKS ON MARKET STREET GOING FORWARD.HOWEVER,I AM NOT HOLDING MY BREATH ON THIS.I HAVE HEARD TOO MANY PROMISES AND NOTHING CAME TO FRUITIONS.

9. I am all for order and direction. Many poor people are simply trying to make an honest living. The market area is already crowded and cannot accommodate anyone else. It’s time we get the Tanner Street area prepared and ready even if it is on a temporary basis so that vendors can ply their trade there. Let’s not try to prevent people from earning a living.

10. This article should have stated “The Government intends to find work for it’s CITIZENS.” It is because of unemployment WHY Vendors have increased across the Island.

    Look at the source of the issue and not put a plaster on it.

    Vendors or not St. John’s is an eye sore and the smell horrendous. The men and women who sit at the lower end of All Saints Road need to be placed in a shelter and get them off the street.

    If we’re addressing St. John’s let’s raise the standard and fix everything.
