A car owner complained to "Hong Kong 01" that a large mobile toilet appeared bizarrely on a metered parking space on Island Road off Deep Water Bay Beach, but the meter was still available for payment. Someone is suspected of placing mobile toilets without authorization. Occupy parking spaces.

At about 1 p.m. today (29th), after the police received the relevant complaint, they sent police officers to the scene to understand the situation and inquired with the staff of a restaurant at the nearby Deep Water Bay Beach.

It is known that the new crown pneumonia epidemic was raging earlier, and the Leisure and Cultural Services Department closed its beaches. The restrooms and changing rooms of the beaches were also closed. Therefore, some people rented mobile toilets for the convenience of diners, but they placed them in hourly metered parking spaces.

The police at the scene asked the restaurant staff to contact the supplier of the mobile toilet and retrieve the mobile toilet as soon as possible.

A car owner said that when driving to Deep Water Bay Beach on Sunday (25th) and wanted to park, he saw that the parking lot was full of vehicles, and it was found that a mobile toilet was occupying a parking spot, and there was no watch, which was annoying and questioned. Some people abuse and occupy the epitope, which is unfair to the driver.

A reporter from "Hong Kong 01" arrived at the scene at noon today to find out. What we saw at the scene was that the table was adjacent to the Deep Water Bay Police Reporting Center, and the mobile toilet occupies more than half of the parking space. The reporter asked a nearby restaurant and some staff said that they had not received any complaints. .

Not long after, several police officers arrived at the scene to investigate, and the restaurant refused to respond to the incident.

Citizen Mr. Cao pointed out that he did not know how long the mobile toilet was placed, but he believed that it was related to the earlier closure of the beach by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department.

He believes that the restaurant prepares toilets for diners out of good intentions, because there are no toilets open after the beach is closed, "all for the convenience of people."

However, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department reopened the beaches. On holidays, many people may drive to Deep Water Bay beaches to swim. Occupying parking spaces will also affect motorists. Mr. Cao believes that restaurants should remove toilets as soon as possible.

The reporter checked the google map street view and found that in October 2020, a mobile toilet was placed at the meter location, but the style was different.
