· GOVERNOR DETERMINED SUPPORTER OF CLEAN HONG KONG CAMPAIGN
At 6.45 a.m. today the Governor, Sir Murray MacLehose walked
the back streets of Hong Kong to see for himself some of the problema
which will be facing the Clean Hong Kong campaign,
The entire visit lasted for just over an hour. It follows a
briefing to press radio and television editors in which Sir Murray emphasised
that he was an enthusiastic and completely determined supporter of the
Clean Hong Kong campaign.
This morning, accompanied by Mr. Wong Man-yui, Assistant Director
(Cleansing) Urban Services Department, he saw the state of the streets in
Western district before the USD workers began the big task of cleaning
the area of night litter.
He saw similar situations at two locations in Wan Chai and
further on down in North Point.
In each case the streets were heavily littered with refuse that
had been left outside in baskets or wooden boxes or simply strewn around
in the streets.
Most of the litter had been placed outside illegally instead
of being taken to the refuse collecting trucks.
