RC Slope Soaring in Hong Kong

Lands department 一向都好睇地方意見﹐電訊公司亦一向都好將就﹐有反對聲音好快就 tun。 流動電話公司起發射站就經常遇到呢D阻力﹐一般都係電訊公司主動退讓了事。呢單野如果我地夠齊心同夠堅持﹐我地既贏面係好大。

Thank you for your support! We have gathered a total of 157 signatures in Clearwater Bay today. I will send the objection letter together with the signatures to the Lands Department, Hutchison and Sai Kung District Board. Hope they really listen and stop further damage to the environment and our flying field.

今天收到地政總處的回覆，和記會將我們東風位之落地線 頭尾加長。 我還未看過他們的修正圖，但我相信修改後之柱位應不會對我們的東風飛行場構成危險。 東位之問題可以說已經解決。
餘下的是北風場，我們會繼續向政府增取將北風場上之寬頻線轉到地底。 今天 Stanley 已經將大家的簽名信寄出到地政總處，希望他們可以向和記再施加壓力。

Today, as a result of our objection, Lands Department has agreed to further liaise with Hutchison about our request to stop laying overhead cables in the section from Point A to Point B on Tai Au Mum road in the map shown. I hope we will achieve a favourable solution finally. Let's see!

星期六上午有線電視的採訪隊會到清水灣拍攝我們的飛行場地。 希望大家當日盡量飛一些較為寧靜的飛機。

Ah Kin told me this morning that there are several cables running over head from one side to the opposite side of the roads around Tai Au Mun Road areas. In addition to that there is no warning sign board for the height restriction for heavy vehicles, eg double decck buses, lorries etc. Hence if you drive along the way to our flying site in windy days, there may be risk of falling cables if the cable do not run underground.

有線電視的記者今天通知亞堅，今個星期六不會到清水灣採訪。

Dear fellows,

Could anyone update us for the progress?
Much obliged.


Pong

My last call is yesterday. Mr Wong told me they will have a meeting with Huichison someday this week, they will let us know when they have an conclusion. If you want to get more update information, you can call Mr. YK Wong of Lands Department at number 27917038, more people call will let them know the case is important.

I called Mr. Wong of Lands Department this afternoon, and repress my views about the case.
I think the road right up to 布袋澳 is one of the most butiful locations of HongKong. There should not be any overhead cables at all.

I wonder why did they want to lay a cable on that location ! Is it for the service of people in the golf club ? Anyone have more information on this ?

剛與地政處之黃先生通電話。他們已收到和記通知整個工程已暫時停止。 和記會從新部處整個工程計劃，一有新進展，黃先生會與我們聯絡。 各機友如有發現工程仍在趕工進行，請幫忙打電話向地政處之黃先生投訴。

Phone project on hold as residents decry poles as monstrosity


The government has halted a project by Hutchison Telecom to extend mobile phone coverage in Clear Water Bay and its country park after residents complained that the project's 200 telephone poles had become an eyesore in an area famous for its natural beauty.

The Lands Department granted permission for the network extension early this month, but asked the company to stop after receiving complaints from residents. Two-hundred of the 203 planned poles have already been erected.

Standing about 6 metres tall, the silver metal pylons line a long stretch of Clearwater Bay Road between Silver Strand and Tai Au Mun, from where they snake down Tai Au Mun Road to Po Toi O and Tai Wan Tau Road.

The department said it put up public notices in September - two weeks before granting the permit - on the Hang Hau rural committee notice board and at the Sai Kung District Office, to allow residents to object.

A spokeswoman did not say whether the department received any objections at the time. All the current complaints, of which she did not divulge the number, came after the project started.

"There is a visual impact issue that needs to be resolved before the project is allowed to proceed," she said. "We may have issued a permit; we can also take it back."

The department is consulting local residents and negotiating with Hutchison - which has offered to paint the poles green so they blend in with the greenery - to resolve the matter.

One Clear Water Bay resident, who did not want to be named, described the poles as "a monstrosity".

"These pylons have been erected with total disregard to the environmental and visual impact to one of the most beautiful and scenic areas of the countryside in Hong Kong," he said.

A Hutchison spokeswoman said it was actively working with the government to resolve the issue. But she expressed disappointment that the project - aimed at providing greater coverage in nearby country parks for the safety of hikers and tourists, and the convenience of customers - had met with opposition from some residents.

"We are conscious of the environment and ... it is the company's intention to paint the telephone poles green in the area after the erection work is finished," she said.

"We have halted the network enhancement works and are now engaging in active dialogue [with the parties involved]."
