The Chairman particularly welcomed Mr LEUNG Fuk-yuen, the newly elected Member of the Shap Pat Heung West Constituency, to the meeting. 3. The Chairman extended a particular welcome to Ms CHAN Ching-han, Peggy, the newly appointed District Lands Officer/Yuen Long (District Lands Office, Yuen Long) who succeeded Ms CHAN Suet-ching, Angela. On behalf of the YLDC, he thanked Ms. CHAN Suet-ching, Angela for her assistance rendered to the Council in the past. 4. The Chairman also welcomed the following departmental representative to the meeting: Leisure and Cultural Services Department Leisure Manager, Yuen Long Ms LUNG Lai-seung, Wendy (Stood in for Mr WONG Shu-yan, Francis, Chief Leisure Manager (New Territories North)) 5. Before the commencement of the meeting, Members and departmental representatives, by their own choice, observed a minute of silence for any people who lost their lives over the proposed amendments to the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance. - 3 - 6. As for the agenda, the Chairman said Mrs YEUNG HO Poi-yan, Ingrid, JP, Permanent Secretary for Education (“PS(Ed)”), would first meet with Members and Miss LAU Lee-kwan, Vivian, JP, Director of Food and Environmental Hygiene (“DFEH”), would then attend today’s meeting to share her views with Members on the issues of environmental hygiene in the district. As the questions raised by Members fell into the ambit of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (“FEHD”), the Chairman suggested discussing the third and fourth agenda items together. The items were namely Meeting with the Director of Food and Environmental Hygiene and “a request for the FEHD to step up anti-rodent efforts and contain rodent infestation”. The Chairman said that as the PS(Ed) and the DFEH both had other official duties to perform after the meeting, he hoped that Members would manage their time well and keep their speeches brief. 7. The Chairman suggested referring three items proposed for discussion to the Traffic and Transport Committee (“T&TC”). The first item was proposed by Mr LEE Yuet-man, MH, Mr SIU Long-ming, MH, Mr TANG Cheuk-him, Mr CHOW Wing-kan, Mr KWOK Hing-ping and Mr WONG Cheuk-kin, namely “Condemning the Buildings Department for turning a deaf ear to the dissenting views of the YLDC by relaxing the pre-set trigger level for suspension of works at the construction site of the Light Rail Tin Wing Stop to 150 mm while approving resumption of the building works there”. Mr LEE Yuet-man, MH proposed the other two items, namely “The planning and timetable of the MTR Northern Link project” and “Trains on the Tuen Mun South Extension line would get too crowded for passengers at Tin Shui Wai Station to board”. 8. The Chairman suggested referring two items proposed for discussion by Mr CHAM Ka- hung Daniel, BBS, MH, JP to the Town Planning and Development Committee (“TP&DC”) and the Environmental Improvement Committee (“EIC”) respectively. They were namely “the investigation and prosecution involving the infringements by an e-waste warehouse in Ha Tsuen of the Town Planning Ordinance, the Buildings Ordinance and the Lands Resumption Ordinance” and “the investigation and prosecution regarding the infringements by an e-waste warehouse in Ha Tsuen of environmental ordinances”. 9. Separately, the Chairman referred Members to a revised agenda distributed at the meeting, saying the motion relating to the proposed amendments to the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance had been deleted from the agenda. The Chairman apologised to Members and explained why the change had been made. He said that the Secretariat informed him earlier about the receipt of the motion. As the motion involved a subject that was not only of great concern to Members, but was also a highly sensitive, non-local issue, he could not decide or give any clear instruction to the Secretariat as to how the motion should be dealt with. This caused the Secretariat to misunderstand him and include the motion in the agenda.

This paper provides background information on the setting up of Tin Sau Bazaar in Tin Shui Wai ("TSW") and summarizes the views and concerns of members of the Panel on Home Affairs ("the Panel") on the subject. Background 2. According to the Administration, the rental increase in shopping malls and markets in TSW, which had in turn led to high commodity prices and affected the livelihood of local residents, had been an on-going concern to the Yuen Long District Council ("DC") and residents in the district in recent years. There were also calls for the Government to increase local employment opportunities in TSW by establishing an open bazaar to boost the local economy. In the light of this, the Government had actively explored ways with different interested groups to address the needs of TSW residents. In response, the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals ("TWGHs") submitted a proposal to the Government, indicating its interest in operating an open bazaar in TSW on a non-profit-making basis. 3. On 1 September 2012, the Chief Secretary for Administration announced the proposal of setting up an open bazaar at Tin Sau Road with about 200 stalls to be operated and managed by TWGHs. According to the proposal, TWGHs would set up a social enterprise which would lease the stalls in the bazaar at lower rents to small businesses for selling daily necessities.

As requested by the Panel, this paper provides a consolidated response to the comments made by Members and deputations at the meeting. Development of Bazaars 2. Some Members and deputations raised at the meeting that the Government should formulate a policy for fostering bazaar development. The Government considers that any specific proposals of setting up bazaars should take into account the situation of individual district. A consensus on the proposal should be forged at the district level with full consideration of the views given by residents nearby and the support of the District Council after thorough discussion. If a consensus can be reached at the district level, depending on the specific nature of the bazaar, the relevant government departments will follow up the respective matters. District organisation may take up the planning and management role in order to provide the flexibility for better addressing the local demand. 3. Tin Sau Bazaar is one of the examples of establishing a bazaar in response to the specific situation and needs of a district. The Yuen Long District Office (YLDO) and the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals (TWGHs) have been actively engaging various stakeholders and listen to their views.

  • Panel on Transport Subcommittee on Matters Relating to Railways Issues
    LC Paper No. CB(4)1504/17-18(01) Panel on Transport Subcommittee on Matters Relating to Railways Issues relating to the settlement of existing railway facilities of MTR Corporation Limited Purpose This paper briefs the Subcommittee on matters relating to the settlement of existing railway facilities of the MTR Corporation Limited (MTRCL), and explains the measures taken by the Government and MTRCL on the impact of nearby construction works on existing railway facilities. Impact of nearby construction works on existing railway facilities 2. Generally speaking, foundation works causing settlement in nearby structures is not uncommon. To protect railway safety, the Government and MTRCL have put in place stringent monitoring mechanisms to handle settlement of railway facilities arising from construction works within the railway protection area. Regulatory regime of the Government 3. The Government has always accorded top priority to railway safety and has put in place a stringent regulatory system. The Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) regulates and monitors the safe operation of the railway system according to the Mass Transit Railway Ordinance and its subsidiary regulations. The Buildings Department (BD) regulates the planning, design and construction of buildings and associated works on private land to ensure compliance with building safety standards according to the Buildings Ordinance (BO). 4. To safeguard the structural safety of railway facilities, construction works located within the railway protection area as stipulated under Schedule 5 of the BO should comply with a more stringent set of standards. BD would require the registered building professionals responsible for the works to monitor the effect arising from the building works to the adjacent railway structures according to the requirements set out in the BO and its subsidiary regulations, and the “Practice Note for Authorized Persons, Registered Structural Engineers and Registered Geotechnical Engineers” (PNAP) issued by BD.
