PHUKET: -- Phuket Vice Governor Siwaporn Chuasawad held a meeting at Provincial Hall yesterday over an erection on Koh Siray of a fence that is alleged to have damaged the income of vendors in a local market.

At the meeting, among others, were concerned officials, vendor leader Sontaya Chulpum, and a representative of Siam Dock Yard Co (SDYC) who had installed the fence. The vendors claim that the fence is causing traffic jams and impeding access to the market in which they operate, thereby diminishing their sales. 

“We reported that the company had built that fence and we asked them to remove it, but they just ignore us, so now we want to allow officials to help us by removing it so as to avoid further trouble,” said Mr Sontaya.

I always see roadside markets causing the traffic jams, but have never seen roadside fences doing the same...

Is the fence on public or company property?

Nearly everything that involves stall holders will be on stolen public land. Don't know about the fence though

I wouldn't be annoyed by an erection, just the opposite .
