Oistins stall owner evicted

A veteran stall owner who operated at Oistins Bay Garden in Christ Church for nearly three decades is seeking legal advice after being evicted from her stall, which the National Conservation Commission (NCC) has taken possession of amid reports she was subletting the space.

Michelle King, 59, who ran Crystal’s Bar & Grill for 29 years, told the Saturday Sun the NCC was also refusing to accept a cheque for $20 000 in arrears she owed but was willing to pay.

She said her troubles began last month when she returned to Barbados from a ten-day trip overseas and the man she had allowed to use her stall – described as “like family” – refused to hand it back.
