HONG KONG URBAN COUNCIL
MR. HU: Mr. Chairman, I would say that in my view the enlargement of the franchise is most important
•
CHAIRMAN : —Are you asking a question again, Mr. Hu?
MR. HU: --I would like you, Mr. Chairman, as Chairman of this Council, to urge the Government to consider this question separately from other issues of local Government.
CHAIRMAN:-I shouldn't think so, Mr. Hu. After all, the Council's own report said, in the first phase of any reform, the franchise should remain as it is.
MR. HU:-I have regret for that, Mr. Chairman.
(13) MR. HENRY H. L. Hu asked the following question:-
Could the Chairman inform the Council which Department is responsible for the cleanliness of Yue Kwong Road in Shek Pai Wan, Aberdeen? Is the Chairman aware that on the edge of the said Yue Kwong Road which forms as a circle there is constant dumping of rubbish in the last 3 or 4 years and has now become a health hazard? Could any measures be taken to improve this situation?
DR. DENNY M. H. HUANG, CHAIRMAN OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL HYGIENE SELECT Committee, replied as follows:-
The Resettlement Department undertakes the cleaning of Yue Kwong Road. However, it is not the road that is the problem; it is the bank on the far side of the road on to which there has been considerable dumping. I would like to thank Mr. Hu for drawing this matter to attention as it can only be agreed that some measures must be taken to clear the bank. I am informed that action is being taken accordingly.
(Dr. Denny M. H. HUANG left the meeting at this point).
