The Leisure & Cultural Services Department today appealed to the public to keep places clean when celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The department reminded people not to fly sky lanterns as they can cause injuries or damage to property and to not burn wax.

Patrols will be stepped up at the department's venues including parks, public beaches and barbecue sites on September 29 and 30. Staff will take enforcement action against littering, wax burning, throwing objects onto trees and flying sky lanterns.

Call 2414 5555 to report incidents.
