Lusaka City Council (LCC) Public Relations Officer, Henry Kapata says vendors who need space in the market should be given chance to trade there to avoid invasion of streets again.
Mr Kapata said there is enough space in various markets in the city which can accommodate more people to avoid traders retaining on the street.
He noted that so far most vendors have been going to the council to seek letters of introduction. He added that it was important to utilize the available markets so that the Keep Lusaka Clean campaign can be achieved.
Meanwhile Mr Kapata has said that road expansion is vital in any growing city hence the need to let the city grow and improve the status quo.
He said road reserves have been kept to enable vehicles such as ambulances to use them instead of making makeshift car wash services adding that this makes the city very dirty.
Mr Kapata further said the council is working to educate drivers to make use of bus stops for a short period of about 10 minutes instead of stopping for a long time as if the bus stop is a bus station.
He also said that containers used as stores to sell merchandise within compounds or the road sides will be removed because they too make the city dirty.
