  1. of the existing procedures adopted and the average time required by the Buildings Department (BD) (from the receipt of a complaint to the completion of the clearance action) in handling complaint cases involving illegal structures, and the difference between such average time and the time required for handling this type of cases as set out in the performance pledge of the BD; and

  2. whether the BD will review the current procedures in handling complaint cases involving illegal structures with a view to shortening the lead time; if not, why not?

Public Officer to reply : Secretary for Planning, Environment and Lands

3. Mr Fred LI to ask : (Translation)

It is learned that following the disbandment of the Tsuen Wan Ecumenical Social Service Centre, the Government has decided to discontinue the service of an independent Neighbourhood Level Community Development Project (NLCDP) team for the Sham Tseng / Tsing Lung Tau area on the ground of insufficient population in the area, and instead extend the service provided by the existing team serving the Hing Shing Temporary Housing Area / Hon Man Village area to cover the Sham Tseng / Tsing Lung Tau area. However, in calculating the population of the Sham Tseng / Tsing Lung Tau area, the Government has only taken into account the residents of Sham Tseng Village and Tsing Lung Tau Village, and excluded the residents of other villages, such as Yuen Tun Village, Sze On Terrace and Pai Min Kok Village, which have hitherto been served by the original team serving the Sham Tseng / Tsing Lung Tau area. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council:

  1. of the reasons why the Government has not adopted the service boundary covered by the original team as the criterion for planning the provision of service, and instead rigidly followed the existing practice of providing service according to defined areas; and how the Government plans to take care of the need for NLCDP service of those villagers who are excluded from the service boundary;

  2. whether, at the time of planning to extend the service of the team serving the Hing Shing Temporary Housing Area / Hon Man Village area to cover the Sham Tseng / Tsing Lung Tau area, the Government has taken account of the geographical distance separating the two areas, as well as the similarities and differences in the service needs of the residents in the areas concerned, so as to assess the specific impact of integrating the provision of service in these two areas; if so, what the outcome is; if not, why not; and

  3. whether the Government has failed to honour the undertaking previously given to the residents concerned, given that the Social Welfare Department issued a statement on 13 January this year in regard to the above incident expressing concern about the needs of the residents in the Sham Tseng / Tsing Lung Tau area for NLCDP service, and undertaking to take prompt action in inviting interested non-government organizations to provide such service, but the Government has up to now not heeded the request of the residents in the Sham Tseng / Tsing Lung Tau area for an independent team, and insisted on withdrawing the original team instead?

Public Officer to reply : Secretary for Home Affairs
