ANTI-LITTER REGULATIONS PUBLISHED
Amended regulations concerning the cleansing of litter in common
parts of buildings are published in today's gazette.
The Public Cleansing and Prevention of Nuisances (New Territories)
(Amendment) Regulations 1973 were made under the Public Health and Urban
Services Ordinance in support to the current "Clean Our Buildings" Campaign.
Previously, a notice could be served on the person responsible
for the management or cleansing of a building requiring him to renove litter
from certain common parts of the building.
The amended regulations extend this provision to other common
parts of the building, and stipulate that the notice may be served either
on the person responsible for the management or cleansing of the building
or on the owner or occupier.
The person on whom the notice is served will be required to clean,
and keep clean for a period not exceeding 30 days, the area of the building
specified in the notice.
If the notice is not complied with, the Director of Urban Services
may order the necessary work to be undertaken and recover the expenses.
The regulations also make it an offence for an owner to allow his
dog to foul a common part of a building, a street or public place even
though at the time of the offence his dog was in the charge of an employee or
a member of his family.
Discharging of pigwash in public places is also an offence.
