Spoiling the view

The recently renovated changing and shower facilities at the west end of Deep Water Bay, close to Victoria Recreation Club, have been badly designed.

This is a classic case of bureaucrats displaying a lack of common sense and wasting taxpayers' money.

Before the renovation there were changing rooms, but they had outdoor showers.

Therefore swimmers could shower in the open air. It was a perfect arrangement.

We could all talk together and share a joke while enjoying the marvellous sea view.

Now separate men's and women's shower rooms have been constructed similar to the facilities you find in Hong Kong's swimming pools.

There is a permanent roof and plywood boards shut out the sunlight and the great view.
