IT WAS good to read in the Sunday Morning Post (January 21) that the Urban Services Department (USD) is streamlining procedures to catch culprits. When it is streamlined, perhaps the USD would send its officers to the Silver Strand area of Clear Water Bay where, each weekend, a bevy of posters appears stretching from Hiram's Highway several miles along Clear Water Bay Road to past Silver Strand.
The posters, featuring real-estate offerings by competing agencies, appear on Friday evenings and by Monday are out-of-date. It is up to the excellent road-cleaners in Clear Water Bay to do their best to remove the rubbish.
Can the USD not heed the requests of local residents both as regards the illegal posters, landscaping and the chaotic roadworks that have plagued the area for years? Or has this part of Hong Kong become a law unto itself? ANDREW TAYLOR Central
