FEHD orders Mong Kok fixed-pitch hawker to suspend business for seven days

**************************************************************************

     The Director of Food and Environmental Hygiene has ordered a fixed-pitch hawker licensee in Mong Kok to suspend business for seven days as the licensee repeatedly breached the Hawker Regulation by placing commodities and related equipment and objects for prolonged periods outside the boundaries of the pitch.

     The fixed-pitch hawker, located at 151 Fa Yuen Street (front), Mong Kok, was ordered to suspend business from today (January 16) to January 22.

"Six convictions for breaching the Hawker Regulation were recorded against the fixed-pitch hawker licensee within a period of three months. A total fine of $10,000 was levied by the court. The contraventions resulted in the seven-day licence suspension under the department's sanction mechanism for hawker licences," a spokesman for the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department said.

     The spokesman reminded all licensed hawkers to comply with the Hawker Regulation and licensing conditions, or their licences could be suspended or cancelled.
