MANAGEMENT OF SWIMMING POOLS TO BE REVIEWED
A general review of all aspects of swimming pool management
will be undertaken by the Urban Services Department at the end of
the current swimming season.
The Director of Urban Services, the Hon. D.R.W. Alexander,
said it was likely that in order to spread the use of the pools more
evenly (and to keep them even cleaner), a sessional use of all pools
would be introduced.
He hoped that this would enable his department to re-deploy
its manpower in such a way that the pools would be closed for only one
hour during the lunch break and allow the Kowloon Tsai complex to
remain open up to 7.30 p.m.
Mr. Alexander was speaking in the Legislative Council in reply
to a question by the Hon. Oswald Cheung.
