Since items 3(1), 3(2) and 3(3) of the agenda were about illegal street obstruction, their discussions were combined. Since items 3(5), 3(6) and 3(7) of the agenda were about mosquitoes and prevention of Japanese encephalitis, their discussions were also combined. Item 1: ConfirmatConfirmationion of the minutes of the fourth meeting ofof the EIC in 2017 3. The minutes of the fourth meeting were confirmed by Members unanimously. Item 2: Matters arising: (1)(1)(1) Request by Mr WONG WaiWai----shun,shun, MH for MTRC to report on the progress and timetable of the nonoiseise barrier installation worksworks for the West Rail LiLinene (EIC Paper No. 37, 57 and 69/2017) 4. The Chairman welcomed the following person to the meeting: 3 Ms LAM Yuen Assistant Public Relations Manager-External Affairs, MTR Corporation Limited 5. Members ’ opinions and enquiries on the issue were summarised as follows: (1) Members were dissatisfied that MTRC delayed the installation of noise barriers of the West Rail Line repeatedly and now to 2020. Therefore they requested the corporation to explain the delay. (2) Members believed that for years MTRC and the Civil Engineering and Development Department had not come to an agreement about installing noise barriers on the West Rail Line. They hoped that the corporation and the department would send representatives to the meeting of the EIC to answer questions. (3) Members questioned whether noise barriers were installed only because of the property which would soon be built on top of the Yuen Long Station. (4) Members asked MTRC to provide details about the area and length of the noise barriers. 6. MTRC gave a consolidated response as follows: (1) Noise barriers were installed along the West Rail Line to reduce the effects of noise from the rail line on nearby residential areas in accordance with the Noise Control Ordinance. The plan for the barriers was not connected to any construction of property on top of rail stations. (2) The corporation was actively engaged with government departments to study all possible plans to improve the design of the noise barriers and to finish installing them as soon as possible. The plan was expected to be finalized in the first half of 2018. Nevertheless, there was still not a certain timetable for the installation work, . (3) The project of putting acoustic louvres on the outside walls of the Yuen Long Station to reduce noise was finished in the summer of 2016. (4) The installation sites of noise barriers for the West Rail Line and a government cycling entry/exit hub partly overlapped. To 4 minimize impact of their installation or construction on the community and the environment, MTRC and the Civil Engineering and Development Department had reached an agreement that MTRC would also take up the construction of the cycling entry/exit hub and carry out such projects in several stages, so that while the installation work for the noise barriers was undertaken, some of the facilities of the hub would be available to the public. (5) The cycling entry/exit hub was expected to be partly open to the public in 2019. (6) MTRC learnt that in July the Civil Engineering and Development Department reported progress of the project of the cycling entry/exit hub in the Traffic and Transport Committee. MTRC and the department would closely monitor the progress of the project and would provide timely reports to the District Council. 7. The Chairman concluded by requesting MTRC to monitor progress of all projects. Since the completion date of the cycling entry/exit hub was postponed more than once, he requested MTRC and relevant departments to provide details of its design and progress of the works. (((2(222)))) Mr MAK IpIp----singsing and Mr TO KaKa----lunlun strongly requested that waste recovery facilities be provided at San Tin Shopping Centre (EIC Paper No. 52/2017) 8. Members ’ opinions and enquiries on the issue were summarised as follows: (1) It was expected that The Boxes (“the shopping centre”) would produce a large amount of commercial waste. Therefore the number of waste recovery facilities should be increased. (2) Members believed that the present waste collection area was too small. The area reserved for waste collection was out of proportion with the area of the shopping centre. (3) Members suggested that covers should be added to the drains in the waste collection area. (4) Members worried that if parallel traders would gather in the shopping centre and nearby pavements, numbers of rubbish would be left in the 5 areas.. (5) Members believed that relevant departments should have measures to deal with the waste problem that parallel traders might cause and that prosecution of people who violate the law may deter other people from doing so. (6) Members asked the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department to provide the number and time of prosecutions of violations. (7) Members asked whether relevant departments and management of the shopping centre had set a policy for handling the large amount of waste produced in it. (8) Some members believed that since the shopping mall is privately operated, the government should not interfere excessively with its management, which should be able to deal with its commercial waste. 9. The Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) gave a consolidated response as follows: (1) Private businesses should be accountable for the commercial waste produced due to their business activities.

  • Paper on the Operation of the Tin Sau Bazaar in Tin Shui Wai Prepared By
    立法會 Legislative Council LC Paper No. CB(2)1299/12-13(08) Ref : CB2/PL/HA Panel on Home Affairs Background brief prepared by the Legislative Council Secretariat for the meeting on 14 June 2013 Tin Sau Bazaar Purpose 1. 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.

    LC Paper No. CB(2)1831/12-13(01) For Information Legislative Council Panel on Home Affairs Matters arising from the meeting on 14 June 2013 Operation of Tin Sau Bazaar in Tin Shui Wai Purpose At the meeting of the Legislative Council Panel on Home Affairs held on 14 June 2013, Members discussed the operation of the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Tin Sau Bazaar (Tin Sau Bazaar). 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.

    LC Paper No. CB(1)93/17-18(03) For discussion Legislative Council Subcommittee on Issues Relating to Bazaars Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Tin Sau Bazaar in Tin Shui Wai Purpose This paper provides information on the situation of the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Tin Sau Bazaar (Tin Sau Bazaar). Objective and Operational Arrangement of Tin Sau Bazaar 2. Tin Sau Bazaar is operated by the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals (TWGHs) as a social enterprise with non-profit-making objectives, with the aims to provide more shopping choices and affordable goods for local residents, develop the local economy, and create local employment. 3. Being one of the longest standing and largest charitable organisations in Hong Kong, TWGHs has considerable experience in running social enterprises.
