救救淺水灣行動需要你!

政府現正修訂淺水灣分區計劃大剛圖,計劃出售海景大樓和毗鄰的停車場用地改劃為「綜合發展區」以發展酒店項目。

我們反對把淺水灣泳灘私有化, 相信你亦有同感。請於2008年11月26日午夜12時前, 於網上填妥遞交或郵寄下載有關表格, 提出你的意見。如需獲知更多資料, 請登入 http://www.designinghongkong.com

我們現珍惜擁有:

• 風景如畫的泳灘

• 青葱茂密具歷史價值的樹林

• 地標性的建築物

• 無阻擋的公共空間

政府的方案卻:

• 商業發展項目取代地標性的建築物

• 屏風效應破壞泳灘的景觀

• 海灘私有化令公眾遊人止步

• 令海灘道的交通問題惡化
