San Fernando Mayor Robert Parris has vowed to investigate after vendors at the Marabella Market lost earnings due to the sudden enforcement of a 1 pm Sunday closure.
Vendors yesterday said the market has traditionally closed later, and they are now petitioning the San Fernando City Corporation (SFCC) for extended Sunday hours from 4 am to 4 pm. Sunday is considered market day in the town, with vendors beginning to set up as early as 1 am.
The Marabella Market Vendors’ Association raised concerns after Municipal Police oversaw the early closure for the second consecutive Sunday yesterday. Official market hours are Monday to Thursday, 6 am-6 pm; Friday to Saturday, 4 am-8 pm; and Sunday, 4 am–1 pm.
