On 17 June 2017, a 38-year-old father slipped and fell down the at Waterfall Bay. At least three people had a fatal accident here since 2006. We asked government for a pedestrian footbridge in 2010 but progress has been slow.

We need a guarantee that government will provide a safe link for residents who walk between Wah Fu Estate and Cyberport and for those who would like to enjoy the spectacular views of the Waterfall.

Sign Now to urge the government to speed up a safe footbridge at Waterfall Bay!

2017年6月17日,一名年輕爸爸於瀑布灣瀑布頂懷疑跣腳失足墮崖死亡。自2006年起,共有最少三位市民懷疑失足墮崖而喪失生命。我們早於2010年便向政府建議在瀑布頂設置安全的行人橋,但進展緩慢。

我們需要政府承諾會於瀑布頂提供安全的行人路連接數碼港及華富邨,同時令更多市民能欣賞瀑布灣的景色。

馬上簽署網上請願信,要求政府加快興建瀑布灣行人橋!

New dangerous medical waste found at HK’s beaches puts residents at risk 新危險醫料廢料襲港,對市民構成嚴重威脅

具危險性的醫療廢物持續污染香港的水質和海灘,對市民的健康及安全構成威脅。

在今年的7月12日,大批由志願者拾獲的醫療廢物已交給環境保護署進行調查,可惜至今仍未收到環境保護署對事件的回覆或發表任何調查結果。

創建香港行政總裁司馬文先生,居民Moran Zukerman及無塑海洋行政總裁Tracey Read今天於政府總部外展示大批於大嶼山海灘拾獲的醫療廢物,並再次交給環境保護署化驗及作進一步的調查。此外,他們更向環境保護署遞交信件,表達對事件的極度關注及促請有關部門盡快展開調查及跟進工作。

是次具危險性的醫療廢料在今年7月至11月於大嶼山海灘拾獲,包括303枝針筒、96枝針筒連針、超過200個玻璃小藥瓶、一枝裝滿疑似血液的試管和大量膠製藥瓶及藥袋等。部份物品更有被魚咬過的痕跡。

由於事態日趨嚴重,我們促請政府盡快成立誇部門小組調查醫療廢物的性質及來源,並設立資料儲存庫和制定行動計劃處理以上違法棄置及具危險性的醫療廢料。

如需要詳盡資訊,可參考2016年7月12日的新聞稿:https://goo.gl/42p5DX

Hazardous medical waste continues to pollute Hong Kong’s water and beaches. The waste threatens the health and safety of local residents.

The Environmental Protection Department (EPD) has yet to respond and publish the investigation outcomes after large amounts of medical waste were collected and delivered to government on 12 July 2016.

Today, Designing Hong Kong’s CEO Paul Zimmerman, Moran Zukerman, a local resident, and Plastic Free Seas’ CEO Tracey Read submitted again a large amount of medical waste retrieved from a Lantau beach to the EPD outside the Central Government Office. In a letter they urged EPD to take follow up action.

The newly found dangerous medical waste collected at one Lantau beach from July – November 2016, includes 303 syringes without needles, 96 syringes with needles, more than 200 drug vials, a collection tube suspected of containing human blood, plastic medicine bottles and packets. Some of the items have evidence of bite marks by fish.

What is now needed is an in-depth inter-departmental investigation into the source and nature of the waste and to establish a database and action plan which deals with the illegal disposal of hazardous medical waste.

The government is urged to act with expediency in response to the medical waste found.

The government is consulting the public on its proposed pilot scheme for electronic road pricing in Central. (Click here for the public engagement document).

The deadline for comments is 18 March 2016.

Do you support the proposal? Object? Any views on the details? You can write to Government directly, or take part in our online survey (link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/VZ5DQ9S). Our office will consolidate and report the responses to the government.

In the meantime, please find below our CEO Paul Zimmerman’s personal view as published in Southside magazine – in short Paul proposes there is no charging for the use of Connaught/Gloucester Road Corridor, but for the use of the inner areas only.

Let us know your views.

政府正就中環電子道路收費先導計劃進行公眾諮詢。公眾諮詢截止日期為2016年3月18日。

你支持或反對道路收費計劃?你可直接向政府發表意見,或參與我們的網上意見調查(連結:https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/VZ5DQ9S)。我們會整合意見並向政府反映大家的睇法。

我們的行政總裁司馬文早前於Southside雜誌的專欄發表了他的個人意見。簡單而言,他建議干諾道及告士打道不設收費,收費區應設於中環的內街。

歡迎大家發表意見。

Petition to save Hong Kong Park
一人一信反對破壞香港公園

The government plans to spend 750 million dollars to relocate the Harcourt Road fresh water pumping station to Hong Kong Park. The construction will result in the removal of a wooded slope at Hong Kong Park and felling of 118 trees. It would impact 2,150 square meters of park space, and major sections of the 150 year old squared rubble defensive wall at Flagstaff House heritage site.

Please sign the below petition now.

政府建議耗資7.5億元,將夏愨道食水抽水站遷往香港公園範圍內一處斜坡,政府解釋該抽水站用地將改作商業樓宇發展。然而,於香港公園建造新的抽水站,將削去園內部分斜坡範圍,影響香港公園範圍內的一段有150年歷史的古老石牆。計劃亦會令園內受重置工程影響的118棵樹木被砍伐,並將公園空間減少2,150平方米。

The right harbour authority, otherwise we’ll be better off without
要就要對的海濱管理局 否則唔要罷就

 

The Government is consulting the public on the setting up of a Harbourfront Authority but both the digest and response form fail to address key concerns. These include a lack of oversight over the harbour as a whole; the lack of advisory powers over Government departments; a lack of legitimacy in land allocation; bias towards commercial operations; and a loss of the public voice on the Board.
政府正就設立海濱管理局諮詢公眾,然而其諮詢摘要回應表格均忽略了箇中關鍵──譬如欠缺對海港的整全視野;政府部門欠諮詢權力;土地分配欠合法性;對商業操作的偏見;及董事會內無公眾聲音。

Since 2004, Designing Hong Kong has called for an authority to create world class waterfronts. Now the shortcomings need to be resolved before the community and legislators support the proposal.
2004年始,創建香港便一直爭取一個獨立的政府權力架構以創造世界級的海濱。事到如今,當務之急是要趁社會和立法會議員支持計劃前,解決其中的問題。
