With the summer and humidity the mosquitoes and biting midges are back. We are working with government departments on strengthening mosquito control operations at bus stops, as well as the drainage channels along footways and slopes. Do take your own prevention measures and apply mosquito repellent when you go outdoors.
夏季炎熱潮濕，大家又要面對蚊及蠓的問題。我們已要求食環署及其他政府部門加強區內的滅蚊工作，尤其是大家候車的巴士站及行人路邊或斜坡旁邊的U型渠。請大家外出時採取防蚊措施。  We thank a local student for studying and proposing improvements for the Sandy Bay promenade. As a first outcome, HKU has now placed new benches on the promenade in front of the sports grounds. We thank both Dylan and HKU for their support.
一名區內學生早前就改善大口環提交了一份建議書。香港大學最近作出了積極的回應，於海濱長廊增設多張長凳。我們感謝Dylan同學及香港大學的努力及支持。 First of all let me thank the community groups who helped clear some slopes. We are also working with different government departments on cleaning of their slopes section by section. We encourage private buildings to clear the slopes under their maintenance responsibility. Importantly, we need everyone to help keep slopes clean.
我想藉此感謝過往兩星期協助清理區內斜坡的熱心居民及多個政府部門的外判工人。保持斜坡清潔，你我有責。  I thank all dog walkers who pick up dog poo. But please remind all dog walkers to STOP THROWING DOG POO BAGS DOWN THE SLOPES. Take the bags to nearby bins. In case you or they don’t know where the bins are or they are broken or missing, let us know at info@paulzimmerman.hk.
Keep Pokfulam Clean. 我相信大部分放狗人士都會自動自覺清理狗隻糞便，我希望藉此提醒大家切勿將狗隻糞便膠袋扔落斜坡。請將膠袋放進附近的收集箱。如對收集箱的位置、保養及數量有意見，歡迎電郵我們：info@paulzimmerman.hk。一起保持薄扶林清潔。
The works have started to fix the uneven surfaces to avoid residents from tripping over it.
早前有居民表示路面凹凸不平，容易跌倒。民政署已開始重鋪工程。  HK University is responsible for maintenance of the road behind the sports facilities in Sandy Bay. A hiatus in cleaning has occurred due to a change in contractors. The university has arranged a separate clean up today and has promised to take better care going forward.
香港大學負責管理大口環海濱長廊。最近有垃圾堆積情況，我們得知這段時間屬兩張不同清潔合約的交接期，港大今日已安排清走垃圾並表示會加強留意情況 AFCD caught two large and two medium size wild boars at the Waterfront Park yesterday. They have been relocated to the country parks in the New Territories. Since September 2019, AFCD relocated 11 wild boars from Pokfulam and will continue their "Capture, Contraceptive and Rehome/Release Programme" in 2020.
漁農署昨日於數碼港海濱公園捉了4隻野豬，分別為兩大兩中。署方已將牠們搬遷到新界偏遠的郊野公園範圍。漁農署會繼續於薄扶林進行「野豬避孕及搬遷計劃」。自2019年9月起，他們於區內先後捕捉及搬遷了11隻野豬。  After days of feeding and surveillance, AFCD caught one adult female boar (85kg) and one male small boar (27kg) near Bisney Road. The female boar was given contraceptive medication and they have both been relocated to the country parks in the New Territories after they recovered from their sedation.
AFCD will continue their operations in Pokfulam as part of their "Capture, Contraceptive and Rehome/Release Programme". Since 2017, they have caught and relocated 7 boars in Pokfulam. 漁農署早前開始於區內餵飼野豬，令牠們適應行動的環境。今日署方於碧荔道附近捕捉了一隻雌性成年野豬（重85公斤）及一隻雄性未成年野豬（重27公斤）。獸醫已為雌性野豬注射避孕疫苗。署方會將牠們搬遷到新界偏遠的郊野公園範圍。 漁農署會繼續於薄扶林進行「野豬避孕及搬遷計劃」。自2017年，他們於區內先後捕捉及搬遷了7隻野豬。  Street cleansing and removal of vegetation has been slow this year. New contracts start in November and we will monitor whether the performance improves. We wrote to government to improve the remuneration of street cleaners. We continue the push for keeping Pokfulam clean, especially paths, trails, staircases and drains.
大家都可能留意到食環署的外判商於區內的清潔工作欠缺效率。新合約將於11月生效，我們會繼續監察他們的表現有否改善。我們已要求政府採取措施改善外判清潔工的待遇，並加勤清潔區內的行人路，小徑，樓梯及路邊渠等。  The population of wild boars in Pokfulam is expanding. A large number of young ones have been spotted. To be able capture, neuter and relocate them the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department will start a controlled feed of this family at the slopes behind the Sandy Bay Fire Station mid-September. The feeding pattern will help the capture. In the meantime, make sure to keep your garbage locked up. Place refuse outside for collection only just before the collection times. Contact our office at info@paulzimmerman.hk for more information.
薄扶林區內的野豬數目出現上升趨勢，多隻小野豬頻頻於街道出沒。漁農署會於9月中在沙灣消防局後方的斜坡餵飼野豬，以降低牠們的戒心，隨後再進行捕捉、避孕及搬遷行動。另外，請大家繼續確保於垃圾車到達前一刻才將垃圾放於道路旁邊。如有查詢，歡迎電郵我們。 |
