Rural Developments

The government is committed to improving the quality of life in rural areas
and to terminating or relocating land uses which pollute the rural
environment. Village sewage improvement schemes have also been carried
out in the rural areas of the New Territories.

A task force to clean up the environmental black spots in the New
Territories was set up in 1994 to improve areas identified as
environmentally degraded. The initial focus is on the Pat Heung area and
particular attention is being given to black spots associated with
container-related operations.
