THE City of Windhoek will temporarily close the China Town Informal Trading Site from 16 November for approximately four weeks to allow for levelling and upgrading works, with affected vendors being relocated to Bonsmara Market during the construction period.
The site, located at Erf 7002 on the corner of Dortmund and Newcastle streets, will remain closed while the improvements are carried out.
The City said all vendors currently operating at the site would be temporarily relocated to Bonsmara Market at Erf 8219, Bonsmara Street, for the duration of the works.
Trading will not be permitted on surrounding streets, pavements, road reserves or other public spaces in and around the China Town area during the closure.
The restrictions are intended to ensure public safety, prevent obstructions and allow the upgrading work to proceed efficiently.
Once the work has been completed, affected vendors will be notified to return to the China Town site and resume trading in the designated area.
The City has appealed to vendors and members of the public for patience, cooperation and understanding during the temporary closure.
