Strong Warning for Vendors

Street VendorsAntigua St John's - Street Vendors are reminded that the Mothers Day Vending 2012 came to an end on May 19, 2012.

The Corporation will be taking strong action in dealing with vendors who insist on vending illegally within St. John’s city after the period specified. Only vendors who have been duly licensed to operate should remain on the street after May 19, 2012.

Vendors are also reminded of the disclaimer which was signed on the permit application form.

All permit applications will be turned over to the Police and vendors who would have signed to move off the street by May 19, 2012 and are found operating beyond that period may have their goods confiscated and could face a charge or fine of EC $ 2,000.00 dollars or imprisonment not exceeding six months.



Vendors are forewarned that the Corporation in conjunction with the Police will be enforcing the regulations to ensure that the illegal street vending is discontinued.

The corporation will maintain a no tolerance approach to street vending in 2012 as it works feverishly to control vending in the city.

but when it comes to them taking over the streets and the sidewalks making traffic conditions bad, fine all of them right there and then. Take pictures and videos so all the evidence stands up in court.

Whenever you see soo much vendors,its a sign of real hard times,people are just trying to survive. Not that i,m saying it should not be regulated,but to be threatening jail time for trying to make an honest living,is quite absurd to me.I think persons like Mrs Parker-Thomas has quickly forgotton their past.Its a shame that Antiguans are soo passsive,this is why this cruel Govt is getting away with all forms of advantage,they failed to provide any jobs for people,they have taxed us all out of existence,food, utilities,every thing is touching the roof,and yet when someone tries to do something to be able to eat,you,re threatened with Jail time. What is really wrong with these people,dont they realize there,s a God and that someday they will have to give account for their lives,there are really over doing now.@Vendors,wh en they take you,ll off the streets line up infront of the Pm,s office,dont move until you,ll get satisfaction,th at is the way to go right now,Fight them with the same attitude they use to oppress people.They are disgusting.

It's About Time

It's about time. Something needed to be done to get the vendors off the streets. Previously vendors were only on the street during Carnival or some other celebration. I visited Antigua last December; I could not beleive how these vedors just invaded every corner, street,sidewalk in St. John's. I was unable to walk on the sidewalk. Downtown St. John's is not the same. I am very happy the police has intervened and hopefully the law is enforced to keep the vendors off the streets.
