Pilot control scheme for publicity materials display
A trial scheme to control the display of publicity materials in public places will be launched in Wan Chai in November for six months.
From November 1, the display of publicity materials in the district would be confined to 100 suitable spots identified and designated for this purpose, a spokesman for the Lands Department said today (Monday).
Plans showing the location of these spots will be displayed at the District Lands Office/Hong Kong West, 19th floor, Southom Centre, 130 Hennessy Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong, and the Public Enquiry Service Centre of Wan Chai District Office, ground floor, 2 O'Brien Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong, from today.
The spokesman said the pilot scheme was aimed at addressing the problem of proliferation of unauthorised publicity materials.
"Any publicity materials displayed outside these spots will be considered unauthorised by definition and will be removed immediately once identified," he said.
Before the start of the scheme, a large scale clearance operation will be launched by the Urban Services Department from October 21 to clear all display materials in the district.
