TRELAWNY, Jamaica — Mayor of Falmouth and Chairman of the Trelawny Municipal Corporation, Councillor C Junior Gager, has issued a stern warning that, with the assistance of the police, the municipal corporation will remove vendors who peddle their goods in the historic Water Square in Falmouth.

In a response to concerns raised from the floor during the recent Mayor’s Forum at the Falmouth town hall, Gager revealed that plans are afoot that the municipal corporation will be undertaking a drive to eradicate illegal vending in the town centre.

He disclosed that only fruit vendors are permitted to do business in a space provided for them in the town.

“Apart from the fruit vendors all those that are now seeing in the town will have to sell in the market. There will be a no tolerance approach to illegal vending in Water Square,” Gager insisted.

Plans are well advanced to mount a statue of the iconic sprinter, Usain Bolt, in Water Square in the near future.
