USING THE +MY SUGGESTIONS TO THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT BOARD+ POSTGRAMME SCHEME, THE TIN WAN RESIDENT SAID PRIVATE VEHICLES WERE ILLEGALLY PARKED ON THE PAVEMENT OF TIN WAN NEW STREET AND CAUSED GREAT INCONVENIENCE TO PEDESTRIANS WHO WERE FORCED TO WALK ON THE ROAD INSTEAD.
SHE SAID THE SITUATION WAS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS IN THE EARLY MORNING WHEN MANY STUDENTS WENT TO SCHOOL.
THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OFFICE REFLECTED HER VIEWS TO THE POLICE WHO PAID SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE AREA AND STEPPED UP APPROPRIATE ENFORCEMENT ACTION. THE SITUATION HAS NOW GREATLY IMPROVED.
A DISTRICT OFFICE SPOKESMAN SAID THE POSTGRAMME SCHEME WAS INTRODUCED IN 1983 FOR RESIDENTS, PARTICULARLY THOSE LIVING IN REMOTE PARTS OF THE DISTRICT SUCH AS THE BAYS AREA, STANLEY AND SHEK O, TO CONVENIENTLY EXPRESS VIEWS TO THE BOARD.
BETWEEN JANUARY 1984 AND NOVEMBER 1985, THE BOARD RECEIVED 292 POSTGRAMMES FROM RESIDENTS GIVING SUGGESTIONS OR LODGING COMPLAINTS ON TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORT, ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENT AND LAW AND ORDER MATTERS.
+THE POSTAGE-FREE POSTGRAMMES, PUBLISHED BY THE DISTRICT BOARD, ARE OBTAINABLE AT 72 DISTRIBUTION POINTS THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT, HE SAID.
+THESE INCLUDE THE DISTRICT OFFICE AND ITS SUB-OFFICES, POST OFFICES, GOVERNMENT OFFICES, COMMUNITY HALLS, MAJOR BANKS, PETROL STATIONS AND VARIOUS KAIFONG AND RESIDENTS ASSOCIATIONS,+ THE SPOKESMAN ADDED.
