***************************************************


Attention Radio and TV Announcers:

Please broadcast the following special announcement as soon as possible and repeat it at suitable intervals:

The Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) announced today (August 1) that owing to some LCSD lifeguards taking industrial action, two more pools of Kowloon Park Swimming Pool have been closed in the afternoon session, leaving the indoor leisure pool open to the public.

As the number of swimmers that can be admitted to Kowloon Park Swimming Pool has been reached, people are advised to go to other swimming pools.

People may call the Government Hotline at 1823 or browse LCSD's website at http://www.lcsd.gov.hk to enquire about the opening of the public swimming pools.
