Vendors In Constant Spring Appealing For Longer Hours

Vendors at one arcade may have little reason to celebrate this season as they complain about limited working hours and the longstanding issue of poor working conditions at the facility.

The yuletide season is often a time for business owners to make an extra buck, but this seems like far from the reality for the vendors at the Constant Spring Arcade in St. Andrew.

One vendor says the time allotted for business hours are insufficient.

Another woman says, calls have been made to the KSAMC to address the deplorable conditions around the arcade, however, there was no response.

Meanwhile, one vendor expressed that the businesses on the plazas surrounding the arcade are the ones operating beyond the curfew hours. He says those businesses are attracting all the customers.
