Forty years on, Rasta artisans to shift a third time - ‘for now’ 

Shut out of a promised upgrade for June’s Cricket World Cup, Temple Yard Craft Market’s artisans are to be temporarily relocated to Pelican Village by Christmas, paving the way for the long-awaited improvements of the popular city space.
The announcement comes after a crucial meeting between the craftspeople and government officials, marking a significant step forward in the redevelopment plans unveiled in April.
Amid pledges of immediate work to develop the area into one of several shopping spots for World Cup visitors to nearby Kensington Oval, the artisans enthusiastically participated in the demolition of their own makeshift kiosks at Temple Yard.
Communications consultant with the Barbados Tourism Investment Inc. (BTII) Joy-Ann Haigh revealed the outcome of Friday’s talks.
