OPPOSITION LEADER Mia Mottley is sympathising with the plight of vendors who have to remove their structures from an area in the River Van Stand by Sunday.

Mottley and her fellow Barbados Labour Party (BLP) members yesterday visited several of the vendors, who were given ten days to vacate the premises on which they had been operating for decades.
