GEORGETOWN Town Clerk Royston King is not pleased and has issued a warning to hairstylists in a section of Merriman Mall to stop operating in “unsanitary conditions” or face the consequences.A few months ago, City Hall developed a section of Merriman Mall by adding tents, washrooms and other amenities for hairdressers and cosmetologists to ply their trade.
A recent investigation has found that they are working under very unsanitary conditions.
“They are making the place look like a shanty town and unless they start paying attention to what is happening within their immediate environment, I will have no other choice but to have them removed.”
The vendors must ensure that their environment is clean and tidy.
According to the Town Clerk, he met with the hairstylists about the situation several times but they still continue their dirty ways.
“This is the challenge we face with a number of vendors around the country… there are even some vendors who are bent on just doing business and forgetting to clear the area they occupy,” he lamented.
King said City Hall will do all within its power to address the unsightly situation.
