President of the Barbados Association of Retailers, Vendors and Entrepreneurs (BARVEN) Alister Alexander is calling on the Government to share details of its proposed vending zones, saying the body has been left in the dark about the plans.He said on Thursday that BARVEN had no idea how the plan would be executed, although the idea for such zones was BARVEN’s “brainchild”.Speaking during a press conference at BARVEN’s outdoor market on the Mighty Grynner Highway, Alexander said the association was aware that construction of the National Vending Facility at Redman’s Village, St Thomas had started. However, he said, it had not received any official notification about how vendors would be facilitated on-site when work was completed.“In our document Progressive Solutions for Vending, we call such places vending villages, they call them vending zones. What we have found with the Government is that communication is erratic – to say there is no communication would not be true.
