the general public in the NT
to
understand the Council's work and its services. Furthermore, the Regional Council election held on the 6th of March meant
that a
group of new members will be joining the Regional Council in the forthcoming April. They need to understand clearly the objects
of the Council's service as well as the nature of its work before
they can properly discharge their duties as Members of the
Regional Council. To change the name

at this stage will therefore provide some
those new members. Finally, since the change of
the Regional Council's Chinese title
to画城市政局
can
better reflect the resemblance between its nature of
of work and
that of the Urban Council, the relationship between the two
Councils would thus become closer and they would, in the days to
come, work hand in hand to provide satisfactory services and
facilities to the residents of Hong Kong,
Hong Kong, Kowloon and the New
Territories.
