MAJOR CLEAN-UP CAMPAIGN FOR RENNIE'S MILL
****
A MAJOR CLEAN-UP OPERATION WILL BE CARRIED OUT IN RENNIE'S MILL COTTAGE AREA FROM JANUARY 14 TO 28 NEXT YEAR.
THE CAMPAIGN WILL BE DIVIDED INTO TWO PARTS - THE CLEAN-UP AND PUBLICITY, WHICH WILL BE CARRIED OUT SIMULTANEOUSLY.
VARIOUS GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS INCLUDING THE DISTRICT OFFICE, REGIONAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT, HOUSING DEPARTMENT, MARINE DEPARTMENT AND NEW TERRITORIES DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT WILL BE INVOLVED IN THE CAMPAIGN.
EXPLAINING THE PLAN TO MEMBERS OF SAI KUNG DISTRICT BOARD ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENT COMMITTEE AT A MEETING YESTERDAY (THURSDAY), THE SAI KUNG ASSISTANT DISTRICT OFFICER, MR RAYMOND LI, SAID 50 WORKERS WOULD BE ASSIGNED TO CLEAN UP THE REFUSE ACCUMULATED AT THE SEA FRONT OF RENNIE'S MILL.
+WE ARE USING MANPOWER INSTEAD OF MACHINERY BECAUSE THE SEA
BED IS TOO SHALLOW FOR DREDGERS, HE SAID.
THROUGH THE PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN, MR LI SAID, RESIDENTS WOULD BE EDUCATED TO BE MORE INVOLVED IN KEEPING THEIR LIVING ENVIRONMENT CLEAN AND HEALTHY.
HE SAID THE DEPARTMENTS INVOLVED WERE CONSIDERING THE POSSIBILITY OF SETTING UP A BOOM TO PREVENT RUBBISH FROM DRIFTING INTO THE BAY AFTER THE CLEAN-UP OPERATION.
THE COMMITTEE HAS APPROVED $12 000 FOR THE CAMPAIGN.
