Home Affairs Department continues to tackle hygiene black spots (with photos)
*****************************************************************************
     ​The Home Affairs Department (HAD) said today (November 11) that its 18 District Offices (DOs) had been conducting a series of cleaning operations and publicity work in support of the Government Programme on Tackling Hygiene Black Spots launched by the District Matters Co-ordination Task Force. The cleaning operations and publicity work were launched in a bid to tackle hygiene black spots and enhance community engagement to improve the cityscape of Hong Kong.
 
     From July to October 2022, DOs have conducted cleaning activities, including those in co-ordination with other departments, at over 230 hygiene black spots across the territory. DOs have also co-ordinated joint operations for removal of abandoned vehicles with relevant departments at more than 100 public back alleys, resulting in the removal of 290 abandoned vehicles during the period. In addition, DOs have arranged cleaning services for common areas at over 1 200 "three-nil" buildings, in order to demonstrate good building management and promote the message of keeping buildings and the environment clean. Moreover, the HAD has continued to step up regular cleaning work at venues under its management, including community halls/community centres and Home Affairs Enquiry Centres.
 
     The HAD will continue to take forward environmental improvement measures with relevant departments to build a clean and hygienic environment. The Government appeals for the joint efforts of members of the public to enhance the city's environmental hygiene and cityscape.
