It will be a gloomy Christmas for some vendors in the growing tourism town of Falmouth, Trelawny, as Mayor of Falmouth, Councillor Colin Gager, says the Municipal Corporation would not be tolerating any form of vending, especially in the historic Water Square. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis year, we are putting effort in the town of Falmouth where we will be lighting all trees, and all the palm trees will be decorated as well, so the town will come alive. We have to take a stand in protecting Water Square. We are now undertaking a project to paint the curbs, ensuring that the place is clean.\u00a0 We will be planting trees and we want it to remain a walk-through town.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mayor Gager says the Christmas tree lighting ceremony is\nslated for December 11, with tours of schools set for December 17 when gifts\nwill be distributed to children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mayor Gager says with the improvement of the aesthetics of\nthe town, they would not be abale to accommodate any form of vending, but he\nexpects some push back from the vendors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe are expecting pushback as people will always want to\nbreak rules, but we hope they understand that we cannot allow this. So we are\nworking closely with the police and we will deploy additional municipal wardens\nthat will come out and help to keep the place intact,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He said operators of businesses have also been complaining\nthat the entrances to their establishments are being blocked by vendors, which\nhas proven bad for business as it keeps away their customers. He says he hopes\nthat this will be averted this Christmas season.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It will be a gloomy Christmas for some vendors in the growing tourism town of Falmouth, Trelawny, as Mayor of Falmouth, Councillor Colin Gager, says the Municipal Corporation would not be tolerating any form of vending, especially in the historic Water Square. \u201cThis year, we are putting effort in the town of Falmouth where we […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3256,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[1668,1665,1666,1667,312,314],"class_list":["post-3255","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","tag-christmas-season","tag-christmas-vending","tag-collin-gager","tag-december","tag-falmouth","tag-trelawny"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/westernmirror.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3255","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/westernmirror.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/westernmirror.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/westernmirror.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/westernmirror.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3255"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/westernmirror.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3255\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3257,"href":"https:\/\/westernmirror.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3255\/revisions\/3257"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/westernmirror.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3256"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/westernmirror.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3255"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/westernmirror.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3255"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/westernmirror.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3255"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
