"Sili" in Tai Po is bustling on weekdays, but the department has been obstructing the street for many years. The neighbourhoods have been very dissatisfied. Recently, a large food store has opened again, and the passage is full of goods, garbage, etc., making the environment even more crowded and chaotic. .
Some district councillors stated that they have been following up on related issues for many years and believe that the FEHD is currently "ineffective" against street obstructions. They suggest that in addition to law enforcement, the government may consider implementing a licensing system for food, vegetable and fruit shops, etc. in the long run. The FEHD adopts a demerit action system for behavior.

Shop on Tai Po Street has continued for many years and has been delayed for eight years and still remains unresolved
There are many meat, vegetable and fruit shops in the "Sili" (ie Guangfuli, Darongli, Daguangli, and Damingli) adjacent to the Tai Po Market. The shops are expanding their business scope. From time to time, sundries, cardboard boxes, When styrofoam boxes are placed on the streets, the goods will be extended out of the store for sale, blocking the passage and affecting environmental hygiene.
After the new store opened last Monday, the situation became more serious. There were complaints from the neighbourhood, pointing directly to "three shops in one shop space" and "not even roads are buried."
Hong Kong 01 reporter and Tai Po District Councilor Ou Zhenhua visited the scene today.
Qu Zhenhua pointed out that a shop at the corner was originally a shoe shop. Soon after it opened last week, the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department and the police have been present to point out that the shop is out of scope, and issued a ticket to the person in charge and confiscated part of the goods. .
As seen today, the shop’s obstruction has improved slightly, but a large amount of debris is still seen in front of the nearby park.
Ou Zhenhua believes that the department should not only target a certain store and not enforce the law against other stores that also obstruct the street. I've done all the drying shops."
The district continued to point out that the follow-up to the four-mile obstruction problem has been extended to "more than two district councils." Many district councillors have received numerous complaints from neighbourhoods. The shops are "deteriorating as group shops are getting worse." The FEHD's law enforcement is like "nothing He also pointed out that the problem of obstructing the streets has caused controversy in the district boards. Some people think that it is necessary to crack down on law enforcement, and some think that small businesses should be sympathetic to small businesses. However, the FEHD faces bipolar opinions and makes law enforcement more difficult.
He suggested that the government should consider licensing and regulating fresh food street shops. If the shops violate the rules and obstruct the street, they will deduct points, deduct full marks or cancel their business qualifications. He believes that this will be more effective than the current method.
