Roadside traders in Tavua Town have been warned against selling produce in any area that is outside of the municipal market.
Local Government Minister Premila Kumar said the issue was brought up in a meeting with Tavua market vendors earlier this week.
She said while the market was unaffected by Tropical Cyclone Ana, vendors were concerned about those selling along the town’s streets.
“The market vendors were complaining about these people,” Mrs Kumar said.
“They are losing business when people sit outside supermarkets selling.
“So we assured them that there is space in the market and the enforcement team will ensure that these vendors are given a space at the market.”
