The FEHD operates 105 public markets (including 24 free-standing cooked
food markets) with about 12 300 occupied stalls selling commodities
ranging from fresh food to household items.
To improve the cleanliness of public markets, the
department enhanced the intensive cleansing of common areas and facilities
and inspection of their cleanliness. A monthly cleansing day was introduced
from November under which stall tenants are required to thoroughly cleanse
their own stalls to a level acceptable to the FEHD. A new streamlined
system of sanction took effect in November, whereby warning letters are
issued to operators who have breached tenancy conditions. |
