香葉道休憩處現正展開翻新工程。我覺得奇怪，因為該休憩處使用率很低，且地面、花槽和棚架等均未見老化，似無必要做此翻新工程，而且區議會文件內亦未提及。
我打電話去康文署查詢，署方指此類工程由建築署負責，隔數年就會展開翻新工程；因為費用不涉及區議會撥款，加上距離下次會議時間較長，之後才會在文件中說明。
有時在經濟極低潮，失業率很高時，政府批出這類工程以吸納失業人口，穩定社會人心，雖然這種凱因斯式的經濟政府仍有爭議，但我覺得在非常時期展開這類工程可以理解。但如果在經濟正常發展，類似設施破損並不嚴重，沒有危險，使用率又很低的情況下(第三張照片可見石屎地板並未老化，但卻被翻新)，我認為沒有必要浪費公帑去做這樣的翻新工程。

It is a nuisance casued by our public servants who are most likely sitting in offices following procedures. If these people have to pay for the expenses, or the saving goes to their pockets, I believe they will come out to take a look. It is so easy to spend others people's money.
[版主回覆08/28/2010 01:14:00]I can't agree more with your last sentence! To be frank, it makes me feel worried that whether I'm the one who spend the public money easily, coz I'm one of ppl who have authority to approve the minor project and activity which organised or supported by the Govt't or the Southern District Council.
I don't think it's fair to accuse the public servants that they get some of the public money into their pockets. I think their just follow the rule and procedure without any other thinking.
胡亂翻新, 不但浪費金錢, 也妨礙了居民享用設施。政府實在不該如此。 順帶一問: 第三張照片攝於何時?
[版主回覆08/28/2010 01:05:00]三張照片都是在星期四(26日)拍的。
今年翻新，出年封園建地鐵，翻來做什麼？
Kevin, I do not mean there were corruption. If the cost went to the ones authorizing the job, inevitably, the work would be frugally considered.
