Wet, slippery street danger

I normally suffer some discomfort in traversing this congested space with the movement vehicles and discarded garbage.

Downtown merchants, according to the deputy mayor, have threatened to sue the Port-of-Spain Corporation as the vendors on lower Charlotte Street obstruct the entrances to their business places.

I am also concerned about the daily dousing of a soapy and slippery liquid in front of a business place on Frederick Street between 7.15 and 7.45 am, Monday to Friday.

I assume it is done with the intent of sanitation. However, I beg the management of this business place to have this cleaning done earlier, between, say, 5 and 6 am when there are less pedestrians.

Unfortunately, I have seen many people slipping and sliding on the wet pavement. So Mr Businessman, please have that situation rectified.
