Attention News Editors:
Your representatives are invited to cover the Governor's visit to Yuen Long on Thursday (June 29) to see at first-hand the efforts made by the Lands Department Task Force Black Spots to improve the environment.
Due to the limited time in going from one place to another and limited space at some vantage points, press facilities will only be available at the rooftop of Shui Lung House in Tin Shui Estate and inside the car handling yard at Lo Uk Tsuen in Kam Tin Road.
At the Shui Lung House rooftop, there will be a fixed press position on a platform. As space is very limited, TV cameramen are advised to bring along ladders.
