The government launched the "Hong Kong New City Appearance" Hong Kong-wide clean-up campaign, focusing on combating 663 hygiene black spots for three months. The "Hong Kong 01" reporter today (14th) inspected Tsuen Wan Erpifang, Yeung Uk Road and Chuan Wan on the list of black spots In the old districts around Lung Street and Ho Bei Street, it was found that the problems of shops blocking the street, environmental sanitation, and construction waste continued. Many fruit and vegetable shops incarnated as "street fighters" occupying the entire pavement and road, forcing pedestrians to walk out of the vehicle road. At the same time, there are problems of stagnant water, mosquitoes and overflowing garbage. Some district councillors pointed out that the hygiene problems of wet goods stalls in old districts have persisted for more than ten years, and it is difficult to get rid of them. Cons, rather than going back to the prototype after three months.

Street stalls in the old district of Tsuen Wan are in serious condition

The government announced 663 hygiene black spots, of which Tsuen Wan accounted for 23. The black spots in the streets and narrow alleys around Yeung Uk Road, Erpifang, Sanpifang, Limulus Square and Chuanlong Street were named and there were shops blocking them. Street and back alley sanitation, environmental sanitation and rodent infestation.

During the on-site inspection of the reporter in the afternoon, the business scope of many fruit and vegetable stores on Hebei Street and Xincun Road extended to part of the pedestrian road. The most exaggerated store directly occupied the entire pedestrian road and part of the roadside, and pedestrians were forced to detour to the middle lane. Cause people and vehicles to fight for the road.

As the fruit and vegetable store sells wet goods, some fruits, newspapers and water bottles are directly abandoned on the roadside, and some drains are clogged, causing waterlogging, resulting in environmental sanitation and mosquito problems.

In addition, due to the unpacking and unpacking of the store, some plastic boxes and carton wrapping paper were directly discarded next to the 660-liter trash can, hindering the passage of pedestrians.

The GF Building, Lu Tak Wai, Siu Wo Street and the back alley of Erpi Square were named as having environmental sanitation problems. Due to the large number of restaurants operating in front of the alley, the dishwashers used to clean the dishes in the back alley, and the food residues were also thrown away. At the mouth of the canal, the canal is blocked and water is accumulated, food deposits for a long time and the weather is very hot, the mouth of the canal emits bursts of sour odor, the cockroaches are crawling everywhere, and there are traces of mouse droppings on the ground, and there is a fruit shop directly in the alley Inner extension operation, in disguise, there are street obstruction, sanitation and rodent infestation problems in one place at the same time.

District councillors propose amendments to include custodial sentences

Tsuen Wan District Councillor Lu Lingzhong said that the problem of shops blocking the street is the most serious in the Yang Uk Road area. The shop clerks seem to agree that they occupy more and more land, and even force pedestrians out of the road, posing a certain danger.

Although the FEHD personnel conduct regular inspections and ticket control, the shop clerk "pays the rent when the fine is paid". Even if they request to restore the location of the footpath, the FEHD personnel will return to their old ways 15 minutes after they leave the scene, and the malpractice cannot be cured at all. I hope the Deputy Secretary of Administration The regional affairs coordinating working group chaired by Chang Zhuo Yongxing can coordinate various departments to strictly crack down on hygiene black spots, and even consider amending the law to increase the penalties for the problem of shops blocking the street, including not ruling out the sentence of imprisonment for the person in charge of the shop who has repeatedly violated the law. Intimidating force, otherwise it will return to the prototype after three months.

The "District Matters Coordination Working Group" chaired by Cheuk Wing-hing has launched the "Hong Kong New Cityscape" Hong Kong-wide clean-up campaign. He announced earlier that he would launch a two-phase plan to combat hygiene black spots.

The first phase of the project will start today and will last for three months. It will focus on combating more than 600 hygiene black spots, including more than 300 black spots on streets, back alleys, and garbage disposal, and clearing up blocked streets and air-conditioning dripping problems; it will be launched from October Amenity Improvement Action.

After inspecting some health blackspots in Mong Kok today (14th), he said that more than 600 blackspots were formulated based on the volume of complaints, severity, opinions of local people and government inspections. Accepting, emphasizing that the list is not "booking a place for everyone to see", even if there are some black spots in the list in the next three months "well done", it will not be removed.

Tsuen Wan District Councillor Lu Lingzhong hoped that the campaign against health blackspots would continue in the long run.
