Unlicensed vendors to be removed
Print Edition
UNLICENSED street vendors will be removed from 61 locations this year in a bid to improve urban management, a senior official said yesterday.
Though they operate illegally, the markets are very popular with local people, said Lu Jianping, deputy director of the Shanghai Greenery and Public Sanitation Bureau.
Because the vendors don’t pay tax and have no overheads, their prices are often lower than in the shops, he said.
This year’s target is part of a broader plan to rid the city of 200 such markets by 2017, he said.
Some of the vendors will be moved to temporary indoor shelters, Lu said.
Two such markets, on Dongbaoxing Road in Hongkou District and Xietu Road in Xuhui District, were closed last year, he said.
