Seawall vendors face removal over permit violations

**Public Works Minister Issues Ultimatum to Kingston Seawall Vendors Over Permit Violations**

*Georgetown, Guyana* – Public Works Minister Juan Edghill has warned vendors operating along the Kingston Seawall that continued breaches of their provisional permits could result in their removal from the area. The minister convened an urgent meeting with the vendors on the seafront corridor to address compliance concerns.

During the meeting, Minister Edghill emphasized the need for vendors to “comply with the rules,” indicating that failure to adhere to the conditions of their permits would lead to enforcement action. He was accompanied by the head of the relevant public works authority, although the specific title of the official was not detailed in the report.

The warning follows ongoing concerns about unregulated commercial activity along the Kingston Seawall, a popular public space in Georgetown. Vendors operating without proper authorization or in violation of permit terms have been identified as a breach of municipal regulations.

The Guyana Times reported the development, noting that the minister’s directive serves as a final opportunity for vendors to align their operations with the established permitting framework. No specific timeline for potential removals was provided.

Stakeholders and members of the public have been encouraged to monitor the situation as authorities assess compliance in the coming weeks.
