BLOCK-BY-BLOCK CLEANSING OPERATION
In Mark I And II Resettlement Blocks
The Resettlement Department is to mount another block-by-block
cleansing operation later this month.
The first such operation was started late last year in connection
with the Clean Hong Kong Campaign.
This latest operation which will concentrate on the older Mark I
and Mark II blocks will be third in the series. Its aim is to give the
older estates a thorough washing and cleansing before the approach of the
hot weather.
A spokesman for the Resettlement Department said today that special
attention will be paid to this operation because it is intended to make it a
regular feature of the management of these 240 Mark I and II blocks.
The operation will start on Monday, February 26, at Tai Wor Hau
Resettlement Estate where tenants will be asked to clean their own flats and
throw away whatever articles they do not want.
All the junk and unwanted articles will be taken away and all the
courtyards will be washed.
