The resident's idea, as submitted
Submitted in ChineseThe idea
1. 希望活化区内一些废置/废弃的房屋或者大厦，用于增加更多车位，或者公共休戏空间。同时解决无家可回者和治安问题。这个问题夏天更严重。很多公园，或者巴士等候站里的长凳，都有不同程度的卫生问题，导致居民无法最大使用这些公共空间。 2. 也可以考虑鼓励支持民间保卫队的资源，让社区更安全，整洁。还可以协助区内机构举办一些公共的文化活动，让我们的居民直到区内的资源，直到遇到什么问题可以找哪些机构。
Who it helps and why
区内有很多老弱妇孺，他们当中有许多都不会英语。举行一些文化，休戏相关的活动，让他们有机会在公共的户外用眼睛，行动了解他们社区里都有什么机构，或者资源。这样他们也不需要因为不会上网，语言，或者使用电脑等等原因，而对一直在进步更新的区内服务，项目一概不知。跨年龄的交流，也可促进身心健康，增强对多样化的社会背景的链接。
