The popular streetside eatery, Crab Circle at Heroes Circle in Kingston could reopen in another month once the measures recommended by the Kingston and St. Andrew Health Department have been put in place.

Crab Circle was ordered closed by the health department on October 5 following an unsanitary act by a vendor.
The facility has since been cleaned and sanitised.

According to the Mayor of Kingston and St. Andrew Delroy Williams, his engineering team has examined the location and says that the lack of bathroom facilities and adequate water will be addressed.

Additionally, the Mayor noted that the vendors will be undergoing training and certification in partnership with the HEART/NSTA Trust.

Williams explained the Municipality will not be constructing any sanitary facilities on the sidewalk but is looking at alternatives and says many of the vendors have in place private arrangements for use of sanitary facilities, which some have been utilizing.
