Chairman of the Barbados Local Organising Committee for the Cricket World Cup, Noel Lynch, insists that government has no intention of moving vendors from Cheapside or any part of Bridgetown to accommodate the upcoming T20 event.

He was speaking to Starcom Network News to clarify the matter after some Cheapside vendors told the Nation Newspaper that they were informed they would be moved.
