Lamma Gung,
thanks a lot for the pictures.

I am out of town till the end of August.

To those who are reading this thread, if you know someone who writes for the SCMP, please let them know about this. It's a complete disgrace. The farmer has been bullied. His crop is lost. Residents have to put up with this eyesore, which ,as expected, has turned into something worse than an eyesore.

We have done everything we could to stop the landfill, all relevant departments are aware of the situation.
More press coverage will certainly help. DSD claimed they would sue the landowner who deposited the waste. Why haven't they done it???

DSD owes everybdy an explanation. Their inaction is criminal.

And there's going to be a lot of stagnant pools of water later in the year so it would be worth playing up the mosquito breeding ground/dengue fever angle.

This morning Mr. Fong and his gang were laying the big concrete pipes that have been sitting on his land for months.
Burying a natural stream under tonnes of construction waste cannot be legal.

I have just informed DSD. Let's see what lame excuse they come up with this time.

now they are covering the vacant lots on the other side of the path with construction waste. Yung Shue Long is rapidly turning into a dump.

Fences -- really, walls, around the former lily pond site, and
also putting up high fences on both sides of the path.

This all on "agricultural" land and the government sticks its head in its ass rather than confront the people responsible.

walls and fences are blocking the view, narrowing the path and making it very dangerous: VV's keep speeding and both cyclists and pedestrians are at constant risk.

....while our district councillor is concerned about the risk posed by parked bikes on the pier!

If you are concerned about the REAL risk, and dismayed at the ongoing fencing and dumping in Yung Shue Long, please write to the government Efficiency Unit,
