Cabbage Beach vendors and protestors uprooted a portion of a recently constructed fence that blocked one of the access points to the beach today. 

Vendors took action after their property was removed from the beach overnight and placed near the road. It is unclear who moved the property. The vendors said they met a paper with a name and a number attached to their property. However, they are still looking for answers.

Vendors called on Prime Minister Dr. Hubert Minnis to intervene, noting that he stood with them while he was in opposition when they faced a similar situation in 2017.

“Where you is now, Dr. Minnis,” one vendor shouted. “Where you is now?”

“…This is our livelihood and we refuse to let them move us from here. We are not moving. We’re gonna fight and we’re gonna fight like we don’t know how.”

Several vendors claimed that some of their property is missing or destroyed.

Police arrived on the scene shortly after vendors gained access to the beach.

Another vendor, who rents chairs and umbrellas, said he is still trying to locate some of his property.

“We really feel bad about that because this is our livelihood,” he said.

“It really hurts us. This is something serious.”
