VENDORS WHO SELL FOOD AND OTHER PRODUCTS in front of the Fairchild Street Market will be away from the area all next week as a result of the long-awaited removal of the market’s asbestos roof.
Senior environmental inspector Trevor King told some 30-odd vendors outside the market yesterday that removal of the asbestos would take place on Saturday from 8 p.m. until 6 a.m. Sunday and continue during the same hours Sunday, followed by a similar routine the next weekend.
