Vendors operating at the Chaguanas Market who fail to pay outstanding market fees risk losing their vending spaces, according to Chaguanas Mayor Faaiq Mohammed.

The warning comes as arrears owed to the Chaguanas Borough Corporation have climbed to more than $1 million, despite the daily market fee remaining at just $5.
