Line-to-take
There is a proposal to merge
Mong Kok and Yau Tsim
districts. Most DB Chairmen
prefer the retention of 19 districts. They would like to
find out what is the
Government's
on the subject.
latest thinking
Government appreciates the community building work done by the DBS in the past and as far as possible will respect the existing
district boundaries. However,
after careful consideration of all
the views put forward by the DBS and the public, Government still
thinks that there is a strong case
to merge Yau Tsim and Mong Kok.
The two Districts share many common
characteristics, have relatively
small and declining population, and
cover a small geographical area.
