NOTING THAT THE MAMMOTH CLEAN-UP WAS THE FOURTH ONE SINCE 1977, THE CHAIRMAN OF NORTH DISTRICT CLEAN HONG KONG CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE, MR LIU CHING-LEUNG, SAID PIG AND POULTRY FARMERS AND VILLAGERS SHOULD NOW BREAK AWAY FROM THE HABIT OF THINKING THAT IT WAS THE GOVERNMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP THE RIVER CLEAN AND START THINKING ABOUT THE IR OWN RESPONSIBILITY TO THE COMMUNITY.

MR LIU URGED FELLOW VILLAGERS TO TAKE PRIDE IN THE IR ENVIRONMENT AND TO HELP KEEP THEIR SURROUNDINGS CLEAN AND HYGIENIC.

HE ADVISED THEM TO MAKE FULL USE OF THE FARM WASTE COLLECTION SERVICE AND REFUSE COLLECTION POINTS TO DISPOSE OF ALL WASTE AND HOUSEHOLD REFUSE IN A PROPER WAY.

MR LIU SAID A CLEAN-VILLAGE COMPETITION, AN EDUCATION CAMP FOR STUDENTS AND A VARIETY SHOW IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CLEAN HONG KONG CAMPAIGN WOULD BE HELD IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

ALSO TAKING PART IN TODAY'S TOUR WERE THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR (NORTH REGION) OF NEW TERRITORIES SERVICES, MR BOWEN LEUNG, THE NORTH DISTRICT OFFICER, MR STURAT HARBINSON, THE URBAN SERVICES OFFICER OF NORTH DISTRICT, MR LAW WAI-MING, AND THE DEPUTY URBAN SERVICES OFFICER OF NORTH DISTRICT, MR CHAN SAK-NAM.
