To improve the experience for shoppers, farmers and vendors President Dr Irfaan Ali has ordered the installation of security cameras at the newly-constructed Leonora Market on the West Coast Demerara.

These devices will enable fully electronic monitoring and there will also be the placement of Police Officers around the facility.

“The Commander, by next week Saturday, you have to ensure that you have security system right around the market.

“We are going to put cameras in the market so that we will have full electronic monitoring of everything in the market so we can have a safe environment,” President Ali announced.

A Police outpost is also expected to be established soon in close proximity to the market.

The President made the commitment during a visit to the market where he interacted with vendors.

He also promised that as early as Monday, works will commence to build a new road to improve access to the market as well the improvement of bridges and drains, among other things.

“As we work together in developing this facility, you will see that on Friday nights you would have shopping out here. You will see a shopping hour and a market hour expand naturally,” President Ali said.

The goal, he noted, is to ensure there is a safe and pleasurable shopping experience for vendors when they visit the market.
