The Honiara City Council in Solomon Islands is to stop all vendors from selling betel nuts, tobacco products and hawking other goods along the city centre's main streets.

The City Council has told the Island newspaper it will be an attempt to ensure the city is clean as stipulated in its ordinances.

The council says it will stop vendors from selling betel nuts, tobacco products and any other hawking from the commercial heart of Honiara to Kukum Hot Bread and including Chinatown.

It has called for the people's co-operation for the clean-up exercise.
