NUISANCE BIKE-FOR-HIRE STALLS CLEARED *****
PEDESTRIAN AND VEHICULAR TRAFFIC HAS BEEN BROUGHT BACK TO NORMAL ON CENTRE STREET IN SHA TIN TOWN CENTRE, FOLLOWING THE RECENT CLEARANCE OF BICYCLES-FOR-HIRE STALLS FROM THE AREA.
THE CLEARANCE WAS ALSO AIMED AT IMPROVING THE ENVIRONMENT, A SPOKESMAN FOR THE SHA TIN DISTRICT MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE SAID TODAY (TUESDAY).
