GOVERNOR TO VISIT HARKER AREA

The Governor, Sir Murray MacLehose, will visit the hawker area in

Pei Ho Street, Sham Shui Po, on Thursday (May 24) as part of the "Keep Hong

Kong Clean Campaign",

Once a congested and untidy hawker site, this street has since been

transformed into a neat and clean bazaar.

The Governor has expressed the wish to see for himself how some of

these places are being maintained.

Three officers of the Urban Services Department will accompany

Sir Murray on the visit. They are Mr. James So Yiu-cho, Assistant Director

(Abbatoirs, Hawkers and Markets); Mr. H. Martin and Mr. D.L. Smith, both

Senior Hawker Liaison Officers.

Note to Editors:

You are invited to send a reporter and/or photographer to cover the visit. A

G.I.S. officer will meet members of the press

at the junction of Pei Ho Street and Lại Chi

Kok Road at 2.15 p.m. to assist them in their

coverage of the event,
