Article by March 5, 2021
Today the 170 members of the Bridgetown Port Co-op Taxi Society Ltd received their promised financial assistance for the first two weeks of lockdown in February.
An elated President of the association Adrian Bayley told
Barbados TODAY the cheques for $500 each were handed over to members just outside the Bridgetown Port.
Explaining that many of the taxi operators did not have a bank account, Bayley said the association had collected the names of the members and passed the information to the Ministry of Small Business and Entrepreneurship.
Pointing out that most taxi drivers were now operating at about 15 per cent of what they were doing prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Bayley said they were extremely grateful for the assistance.

The Barbados Association of Retailers, Vendors, and Entrepreneurs (BARVEN) is trusting Government’s decision to extend the national lockdown until the end of the month.
However, BARVEN’s President Alistair Alexander is appealing to authorities to allow the open-air market on the Mighty Grynner Highway to reopen as soon as possible, to help with the effective distribution of local produce from farmers to consumers.
Alexander indicated that while Government has been doing a fairly good job at taking produce from farmers to distribute in its care packages, he is questioning how much longer the project could be sustained. He explained that one of the technical difficulties Government faced was that it failed to get locally grown fruits and vegetables collected from farmers, out to the population in a timely manner, leading to spoilage.
