And while the price on water taxi fares is one thing - prices on items at the grocery are far more urgent. And the Supplies Control Unit has sent out another list of stores found to be violating price regulations. A total of 152 stores across the country have been ticketed for price violations - some of them more than once. In Corozal, there were 12, in Orange Walk, 15, in Cayo there were 28, in Belize City there were 39, 6 in Caye Caulker, 28 in San Pedro, 18 in. Stann Creek and 6 in Toledo. Most of the violations were for Offering Products For Sale Above the Control Price or for Failure To Display Price for a Controlled Good.
We note that San Pedro, while just a town, had more violator reports than the Stann Creek and Toledo Districts combined.
A release says the Supplies Control Unit is engaging NEMO San Pedro to train designated persons to identify violations and issue tickets, especially in times of emergency. The Belmopan City Council will also report violators to the Trade Licensing Board and identify means of facilitating residents with filing complaints.
And if you see price violators, you can REPORT them TO phone number, 607 4686.
