Nominations for the District Council election will open in the middle of next month. The Democratic Party’s Central Committee approved on Wednesday (20th) the recommendation of eight members to stand for election, understood to include its chairperson, Lo Kin-hei. Under the new electoral system, candidates must obtain nominations from "the three committees" members. Lo urged the Home Affairs Department to provide lists and contact details of "the three committees" members in each district, saying the department and the Electoral Affairs Commission both had a responsibility to make the relevant information public so that people intending to stand for election could contact nominators: “It is not only the Democratic Party that wants to stand for election; other members of the public may also have such aspirations.”

大埔關愛隊10隊長屬建制區選敗部 民建聯黃碧嬌:不存在利益衝突
The government on Tuesday (19th) announced the lists of 130 Care Team units in six districts—Central and Western, Wan Chai, Kowloon City, Kwun Tong, Tai Po and the North District. Several captains, deputy captains and members were former pro-establishment district councillors or incumbent councillors. Of the 19 Tai Po Care Team units, 10 have captains who previously contested and lost the 2019 District Council election. In response to questions over whether serving as Care Team members and later contesting District Council elections would involve a conflict of interest, former Tai Po District Council chair and DAB Peggy Pik Kiu Wong told InMedia that there was no conflict of interest and that “there is no benefit to being a captain”: “The Care Team is unpaid and unsalaried—how could there be a conflict? I am doing this from the heart, wholeheartedly serving the community.”
政府周二(19日)公布六區關愛隊即中西區、灣仔、九龍城、觀塘、大埔及北區,共130個小隊的名單,當中多名小隊隊長、副隊長及成員為建制派前區議員或現任議員。在大埔關愛隊19支小隊中,便有10隊的隊長曾參選2019年區議會選舉並落敗。對於被質疑出任關愛隊成員,日後參選區議會或涉及利益衝突。前大埔區議會主席、民建聯黃碧嬌對《獨媒》指沒有利益衝突、「做隊長無利益可言」:「關愛隊無償無薪,點樣有衝突?我係由心出發,全心全意服務社區。」

投訴警察課須匯報投訴增45% 逾九成涉疏忽職守行為不當
The Independent Police Complaints Council held a public meeting yesterday afternoon. The Complaints Against Police Office said it received 1,106 reportable complaints in the first eight months of this year, up 45.1% from 762 in the same period last year. The latest figures showed that complaints involving “neglect of duty” and “improper conduct/poor attitude” together accounted for more than 90% of the total. Senior Superintendent Chan Hin-kwan said 95% of the complaints involved minor allegations, with many relating to traffic enforcement and stop-and-search operations, and said this was linked to the Police Force stepping up enforcement.

The Hong Kong Tourism Board said it would support Hong Kong Night Vibes by organising various events over the coming months to promote the night-time economy, including the Wine & Dine Festival and the Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance. From November, the Tourism Board will also distribute 1 million dining vouchers worth $100 each to visitors to Hong Kong. The vouchers may be used only after 6pm at designated accredited bars and restaurants.

廟街擬變「國際美食街」 商會陸興發:無言、冷淡、好灰
As the Government seeks to “revitalise the night-time economy”, how to revive the long-established tourist attraction Temple Street has become a major challenge. The chairman of the Yau Ma Tei Temple Street Hawkers Association, who emphasised that he is the “only representative”, Clement Kam Wing Chan, said on a radio programme this morning that discussions had already taken place with the Government to turn a 100-metre stretch of Temple Street into an “international food street”, stressing that “only Temple Street has it”. It is expected to be launched in November. He also said discussions were under way with the Government to relax restrictions on the sale of packaged food, allowing tourists to buy Chinese sausages, fermented bean curd and chilli sauce as souvenirs. Temple Street Association chairman Luk Hing-fat, however, said frankly: “The Government chooses who to talk to; it doesn’t choose me,” and “it hasn’t been my turn to speak”. He believes that even if the Government introduces measures, they may not be practical: “No one from Europe or America is coming; basically, there are no tourists coming.” He lamented that the current situation was “really bleak”.
政府要「搞活夜經濟」,如何令老牌景點廟街起死回生是一大難題。強調自己是「唯一代表」的油麻地廟街販商商會主席陳錦榮今早在電台節目表示,已經與政府商討,將100米廟街變成「國際美食街」,強調「係得廟街先有」,預計11月會推出。他又指正與政府商討放寬售賣包裝食品,讓旅客購買臘腸、腐乳、辣椒醬做手信。而廟街商會主席陸興發就直言「政府揀人傾,唔係揀我傾」、「未輪到我講」,他認為政府即使有措施,亦未必實際,「歐美無人嚟,根本無遊客嚟」,大嘆現時處境「好灰㗎!」
