*****
PEOPLE CLEANING THEIR HOMES IN PREPARATION FOR THE LUNAR NEW YEAR CAN TAKE THEIR JUNK AND REFUSE TO THE NEAREST JUNK OR REFUSE COLLECTION POINT.
FROM JANUARY 22 TO 28, 95 TEMPORARY AND 133 PERMANENT COLLECTION POINTS WILL BE OPENED TO THE PUBLIC IN THE URBAN AREAS, AN URBAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT SPOKESMAN SAID.
+ IF RESIDENTS ARE NOT SURE OF THE LOCATION OF THESE POINTS, THEY CAN CALL THE LITTER HOTLINE 5-8105599 -- OR THEIR LOCAL USD DISTRICT OFFICE TO FIND OUT, HE SAID.
DURING THE CLEAN-UP, THE USD WILL ALSO DEPLOY EXTRA CLEANSING STAFF AT THE VARIOUS COLLECTION POINTS TO COPE WITH THE ANTICIPATED INCREASE IN THROWN-AWAY ARTICLES.
+THE PUBLIC SHOULD ALSO CALL THE HOTLINE OR DISTRICT OFFICES TO FIND OUT THE OPENING AND CLOSING HOURS OF THESE POINTS,+ THE SPOKESMAN SAID.

ALL CLEANSING SERVICES WILL BE SUSPENDED ON LUNAR NEW YEAR'S DAY, THURSDAY, JANUARY 29.
MUTUAL CO-OPERATION SOLVES DISTRICT PROBLEMS
*****
PROBLEMS THAT ADVERSELY AFFECTED THE LIVELIHOOD OF DISTRICT RESIDENTS COULD BE RESOLVED THROUGH MUTUAL CO-OPERATION BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENT AND THE COMMUNITY, THE NORTH DISTRICT OFFICER, MR MATTHEW CHEUNG, SAID TODAY (SUNDAY).
THE SWIFT AND EFFICIENT RESOLUTION OF MAN KAM TO ROAD TRAFFIC CONGESTION WAS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF HOW DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION WORKED, HE SAID.
SPEAKING AT THE CLOSING CEREMONY OF A CIVIC EDUCATION CAMPAIGN ORGANISED BY THE FINNISH MISSIONARY SOCIETY CHOI YUEN CHILDREN AND YOUTH SERVICES CENTRE, MR CHEUNG SAID THAT IN THE PAST TRAFFIC CONGESTION IN MAN KAM TO ROAD HAD CREATED SERIOUS PROBLEMS.
