SUNDAY, JULY 24, 1988

A SPOKESMAN FOR THE JOINT COUNCIL COMMITTEE SAID: "IT IS THE NEIGHBOURHOODLY SPIRIT THAT IS MOST ESSENTIAL TO THE EFFECTIVE ADMINISTRATION OF A MULTI-STOREY BUILDING'S CLEANLINESS AND MAINTENANCE.

"WE DO BELIEVE THAT IF PEOPLE WITHIN THE SAME BUILDING COMPLEX COULD TEAM UP AND SHOULDER THE RESPONSIBILITY ON A COLLABORATED BASIS, THE PROBLEM WOULD BE TOTALLY SOLVED.

HE ADDED THAT INDIVIDUAL HOUSEHOLDS SHOULD CONSIDER THE BUILDING'S COMMON AREAS, SUCH AS CORRIDORS, LIFT LOBBIES, STAIRCASES, CANOPIES, ROOFS, ETC AS PART OF THEIR HOME, SO THAT THEY WOULD FEEL OBLIGED TO MAINTAIN THESE AREAS IN GOOD ORDER.

DURING THE CLEAN-UP PERIOD, BOTH THE URBAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT AND THE REGIONAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT WILL DEPLOY ADDITIONAL STAFF TO ASSIST PEOPLE IN THE CLEAN-UP AND PROVIDE SPECIAL TRANSPORT TO FACILITATE HOUSEHOLDS IN DISCARDING JUNK AND REFUSE.

A SPECIAL TEAM OF HEALTH INSPECTORS WILL ALSO PAY VISITS то SELECTED MULTI-STOREY BUILDINGS, WHICH HAVE BEEN LISTED BY BOTH DEPARTMENTS AS PROBLEMATIC IN REGARD TO THEIR STATE OF CLEANLINESS.

THE CLEAN-UP OPERATION WILL BE IMPLEMENTED IN PHASES, STARTING WITH SIX KOWLOON DISTRICTS KOWLOON CITY, KWUN TONG, MONG KOK, YAU MA TEI, WONG TAI SIN, AND SHAM SHUI PO.

-

THE HONG KONG PHASE WILL START IN OCTOBER ΤΟ BE FOLLOWED BY THE NEW TERRITORIES PHASE IN DECEMBER AND JANUARY.

RESIDENTS OF INDIVIDUAL DISTRICTS MAY CONTACT THEIR RESPECTIVE DISTRICT HEALTH OFFICES FOR DETAILS ABOUT THE CLEAN-UP OPERATION CALL THE URBAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT HEADQUARTERS ON 5-8680000.
