Item 9(xxii) Administrative Manager, New Lantau Bus Co., Mr WONG Wah (1973) Ltd 4 * * * * * Opening Remarks The Chairman welcomed Members and representatives from Government Departments to the second meeting of the Traffic and Transport Committee (“T&TC”) under the Yuen Long District Council (“YLDC”) in 2016, and hoped that everyone cooperated with each other in the next term of the T&TC to solve the traffic problems in Yuen Long District. The Chairman also welcomed students from LST Leung Kau Kui Primary School to observe the meeting, and hoped they would deepen their understanding of the work of the YLDC and its Members through the event. Item 1: Confirmation of the Minutes of the First Meeting of the T&TC in 2016 2. Minutes of the first meeting were confirmed unanimously. Item 2: Endorsement of the Setting up of Standing Working Groups under T&TC of the YLDC for the Term 2016-2019 (T&TC Paper No. 39/2016) 3. The Chairman said that, to enhance the efficiency of T&TC in discussing issues and the in-depth discussions on various traffic issues, it was proposed to set up three standing working groups under the T&TC, including (1) “Working Group on Bus Service”, (2) “Working Group on Traffic Congestion in Yuen Long” and (3) “Working Group on Mass Transit Services”, to respectively follow up and discuss issues referred to the Working Groups by the T&TC. The Chairman suggested that the terms of reference for the “Working Group on Bus Service” should follow the previous term, and discuss the 2016 Bus Route Development Programme of Yuen Long District in detail; and that all questions relating to bus service raised in this meeting agenda by Members be referred to the “Working Group on Bus Service” for discussion. He also suggested that the other two Working Groups arrange their first meetings later and implement relevant Terms of Reference. 4. Members’ views and enquiries were summarised as follows: (1) The T&TC always had many issues to discuss and the meetings were too long, it was agreed to set up standing Working Groups to discuss various traffic areas, believed that Working Groups could take over the issues referred to them by the T&TC, and it was recommended that the Working Groups submit the issue to the T&TC for further discussion in case of controversies; 5 (2) The “Working Group on Traffic Congestion in Yuen Long” was suggested to be renamed into “Working Group on Traffic and Pedestrian Congestion in Yuen Long” to highlight the pedestrian; (3) Concerning the attendance of the Working Groups, it was afraid that the eligibility as a Member of the Working Groups might be affected as Members may not have time to attend some meetings because they have to participate in many other meetings; (4) The Secretariat was suggested to send the meeting agenda of the Working Groups to all T&TC Members, and Members have the right to join the Working Groups at any time so as to express their views on the issues concerned; (5) It was suggested that the meetings of the T&TC and the Working Groups being held on the same day for the convenience of the T&TC Members who were also the Members of the Working Groups.
