NDOLA City Council (NCC) has found an alternative trading place for displaced street vendors in the Central Business District.
NCC public relations manager, Tilyenji Mwanza says the Council technocrats from planning, engineering, housing and public health who went on site today with the District Commissioner George Chisulo and Acting Town Clerk Mr. Wisdom Bwalya have opted as a temporary measure to
close the Livingstone, Chisokone ring road to accommodate some of the street vendors removed from the street.
Ms Mwanza assures that the identified spot will be made available for trade in less
than 48hrs and will accommodate about 400 traders.
She explains that the identification procedure was done in consultation with market representatives.
The public relations managers says displaced street vendors will be allocated trading space by
the council department of housing.
"It is for this reason we are advising street vendors not to pay any money to any individuals who will claim they will give them stands," says Ms Mwanza.

Ms Mwanza has since appealled to all traders in
the habit of returning to the streets after work hours to
desist from doing so as street vending has been banned.
