The resident's idea, as submitted
Submitted in ChineseThe idea
1，遊樂場與公園禁菸制度強化。立法與標示清楚：在所有兒童遊樂場、公園健身區張貼「禁止吸菸」多語言標示（中、英、西）增設禁菸提醒設施：如語音提醒柱或社區志願者巡邏。由市政執法人員（如Park Ranger）定時巡查並處罰違規者，提升執行力與震懾力。 2. 強化公共廁所與公共空間清潔。明確排班打掃制度：如每天3次定時清潔，並在廁所內張貼「最後清潔時間與工作人員簽名」表格。設置市民反映系統：提供簡單方式（如QR碼、311熱線）讓市民舉報廁所髒亂或物資缺失。定期深度清潔：每週安排一次專業消毒與檢查。
