Gan Wenyu suggested that the government should organize the "City-wide Cleanup Campaign" and "Hong Kong-wide Hygiene Black Spot Action" every year. The public should provide the FEHD with environmental hygiene black spots, and asked the FEHD to formulate service commitments and performance indicators. It is stipulated that after receiving a report from the public, it must be properly handled within a limited time.

At present, when the government deals with hygiene blackspot issues, the powers and responsibilities of multiple departments will be involved from time to time. The main responsible department of the health black spot can reduce the problem of unclear powers and responsibilities, and at the same time strengthen the accountability of the civil servant team to the public, and completely improve the problem.
Advocate for housing estates to enter the premise of early bidding for transportation facilities
The survey also showed that more than 70% of residents (73%) are willing to move to housing estates with imperfect infrastructure in order to move up early.
In response to the above situation, Yan Wenyu suggested that while "public housing goes upstairs in advance", it is also necessary to ensure that infrastructure construction goes first.

"Usually, the tenders for minibuses and buses in housing estates will be launched after the residents have moved in. It takes half a year to complete the transportation facilities." Half of the respondents indicated that in addition to land and housing issues, they placed the most emphasis on improving transportation and infrastructure facilities, reflecting that the government, while speeding up housing construction and allowing citizens to "go up earlier", also gave priority to transportation infrastructure facilities to ensure that infrastructure goes first and prevent The tragic situation of new public housing becoming an "isolated island".
