KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Kingston and St Andrew Municipal Corporation (KSAMC) launched a major crackdown on street vending Wednesday to clear vendors from in front of the Kingston Parish Church and along Upper King Street.
In a firm move to reclaim the area, the municipality deployed municipal police and 15 environmental wardens, with support from the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) and erected no-vending signs to prevent vendors from returning.
Kingston Mayor Andrew Swaby says the move is part of the KSAMC’s push to enforce order and keep the streets clear of illegal vending.
