is Mary Melville. You have probably seen her name in the letters page of the SCMP.
I met her briefly this evening on Granville Rd where she was doing her civic duty - trying to move on illegally parked cars and those that were stationary on the level crossing. Unfortunately the two policeman there were spending more time haranguing Mary than doing something about the traffic. After 5-10 minutes, and giving one car a ticket and waving on a couple of more, they declared the road 'clear', and then left with the solitary traffic warden. Within 5 minutes the road was blocked again. See the picture I took.
Mary told me one reason she doesn't take pictures is that she scared she will be beaten up by some car drivers. Shouldn't the police be there to help her? The traffic problem in TST (and other areas) is straightforward to solve, but there doesn't seem to be any inclination to do so. If anyone deserves a Bauhinia Star, it's Mary Melville.
