LegCo Members meet with members of Kowloon City and Yau Tsim Mong District Councils (with photos)
The Legislative Council (“LegCo”) Members met with the Kowloon City District Council (“DC”) and Yau Tsim Mong DC members at the LegCo Complex today (22 May). This was the first meeting held between LegCo Members and the DCs since the commencement of the Eighth LegCo. They held in-depth discussions and exchanged views on issues related to community development and people’s concern. Going forward, LegCo Members will gradually meet with members of other DCs to gather public views and assist the Administration to achieve good governance.
During the meeting with the Kowloon City DC, LegCo Members discussed and exchanged views with DC members on various issues, including mitigating the traffic pressure in Ho Man Tin so as to prevent further congestion arising from a growing residential population in the area and extensive driving practice activities. They also explored the development of the Kai Tak Runway Area and strengthening the synergy among the Kai Tak Sports Park, the “Youth Post” hostel, and the cruise terminal. In addition, they discussed the accessibility of Kai Tak Hospital and measures to ensure services will be transitioned smoothly to the hospital from Queen Elizabeth Hospital in phases.
LegCo Members will continue to liaise with the DC and the Administration on issues relating to transport and district development in Kowloon City, as well as Kai Tak Hospital, and will proactively convey their views. Members’ concerns include traffic congestion and the impacts of driver training and road tests on traffic in Ho Man Tin, the overall transport planning of the Kai Tak Development and the synergistic development of the facilities and merchants to boost the local economy, as well as enhancement of public transport connectivity for Kai Tak Hospital.
The meeting was convened by Prof Hon Priscilla LEUNG Mei-fun. A total of 26 Members attended the meeting, including Dr Hon CHAN Han-pan, Hon Jimmy NG Wing-ka, Dr Hon Junius HO Kwan-yiu, Dr Hon Hoey Simon LEE, Hon Robert LEE Wai-wang, Hon Vincent CHENG Wing-shun, Dr Hon Johnny NG Kit-chong, Hon CHAU Siu-chung, Hon Nixie LAM Lam, Hon YIU Pak-leung, Hon Rock CHEN Chung-nin, Hon CHAN Yung, Ir Hon CHAN Siu-hung, Hon Joephy CHAN Wing-yan, Hon YANG Wing-kit, Hon TANG Fei, Prof Hon CHAN Wing-kwong, Hon WU Yingpeng, Captain Hon Lothair LAM Ming-fung, Hon Andrew FAN Chun-wah, Hon Warren CHANG Pei-kang, Hon LAU Ka-keung, Ir Hon Michelle TANG Ming-sum, Prof Hon Michael NGAI Ming-tak and Hon TAM Chun-kwok.
As regards the meeting with the Yau Tsim Mong DC, LegCo Members discussed and exchanged views with DC members on various issues, including the promotion of in-depth thematic tourism in the district by linking intangible cultural heritage items, historic buildings and featured streetscapes into cultural routes. Members and DC Members also explored the optimization of transport arrangements and information dissemination as Queen Elizabeth Hospital relocates its services to Kai Tak Hospital gradually. They were also concerned about ancillary facilities along the West Kowloon waterfront development and called for the strengthening of traffic information dissemination and the provision of pedestrian signage when major events are being held at the West Kowloon Cultural District to ensure more effective crowd dispersal.
LegCo Members agreed to refer Yau Tsim Mong DC members’ views and suggestions on Yau Tsim Mong in-depth tourism, improving transport arrangements to and from the New Acute Hospital in Kai Tak, and enhancing the accessibility of the West Kowloon Cultural District and West Kowloon waterfront and the recreational facilities therein to the relevant LegCo Panels for follow-up.
