The Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development on Friday inked a $24.5 M contract for the construction of the Diamond market tarmac.
The project is scheduled to be completed within three months. The 4,600 square meter tarmac will be erected in the Diamond Housing Scheme, between the first and second bridges on the southern side of the scheme.
Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Seewchan, stated that the construction of the market tarmac was necessary since vending is currently conducted on the public road and is a threat to the free and safe flow of traffic.
A Market Management Committee will be established to organise and maintain the facilities. Those vending in the market will be expected to pay a fee. This fee will be monitored by the committee which will comprise representatives from the Regional Democratic Council (RDC), Neighbourhood Democratic Council (NDC), vendors and the Community Development Committee (CDC). The revenue earned will be used for the maintenance of the tarmac.
The Ministry recently inked contracts for the construction of three market tarmacs in Enmore, Region Four and De Willem and Best/ Pouderoyen, Region Three.
Two other contracts for market tarmacs for Golden Grove, Region Four and Waterloo, Region Five are waiting to be awarded.
