Hawkers – new points in the recommendations: 2-06-06

Hawking areas: to allow a restricted
number of roving hawkers to stop and sell at fixed times and fixed
locations in each Ward / local areas – such areas are called temporary

hawkers in temporary hawking areas, (or other areas such as hawkers
plaza, weekly bazaar, etc.) is directly linked to the carrying
capacity of that local area.
- Implementation

A City Hawker Committee and 24 Ward Hawker Committees will oversee
the implementation of the scheme for hawkers. These committees
will:
- draw
up detailed specifications for hawkers under the broad guidelines

and take action on complaints, suggestions, feedback regarding
the implementation of the scheme
