Outraged straw market vendors are claiming that workers responsible for cleaning up the market are damaging their stalls.

Locker doors have been ripped off, display boards torn down, and steps and extensions used to showcase goods have been removed, according to a group of angry vendors.

When The Nassau Guardian's news team visited the downtown market sometime after 9 p.m. Monday, pieces of plywood once used to display vendors' wares were in heaps as the clean-up crew prepared to take the "garbage" to the dump.

After hearing the news that their stalls were being "damaged," more than a dozen vendors stormed down to the straw market to protest.

The situation became out of control and security officers, unable to get the vendors out of the market, had to call the police to help control the crowd.

One of the officers explained to her after speaking with the workers that the steps and other additions to the stalls were preventing environmental health officers from digging out the rat nests.

He said the lockers beneath the stalls especially hindered the clean-up process, adding that the possibility of rodents hiding in them was very high.

I say too bad for them, if they where not so nasty in the first place this would not have to happen. They are reaping what THEY sowed, so be it! No sympathy at all for the FLEA MARKET vendors.

The roaches are clean. The head of the roach union said they took a bath in the rain water last month around the time the areas flooded.

They lost a few people he said, but it knocked out a lot of germs. All they need now is a few more gubment jobs and a fridge of their own in da market.
