GOVERNMENT SERVICES GROW IN TSUEN WAN
*****
THE GOVERNMENT HAS APPOINTED TWO ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS TO TAKE CHARGE OF THE FIRST TWO CITY DISTRICT-STYLE OFFICES IN THE NEW TERRITORIES.
THE OFFICES ARE BEING SET UP IN TSUEN WAN
ONE TO SERVE
THE 150,000 PEOPLE LIVING AROUND THE TOWN CENTRE AND TSING YI ISLAND, AND THE OTHER TO CATER FOR THE NEEDS OF THE 350,000 PEOPLE IN THE KWAI CHUNG AREA.
MISS ALICE SIU WILL BE IN CHARGE OF THE KWAI CHUNG BRANCH, PLANNED FOR THE HUTCHISON ESTATE BUILDING IN LEI MUK ROAD, WHILE MR. BENJAMIN TANG WILL OPERATE OUT OF THE HOI PA STREET BRANCH OFFICE OF THE TSUEN WAN DISTRICT OFFICE.
THE TSUEN WAN TOWN MANAGER, MR. JAMES HAYES, ANNOUNCING THE APPOINTMENTS TODAY, SAID THAT THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE NEW TOWN DISTRICT OFFICES MARKED AN IMPORTANT STEP FORWARD IN THE GOVERNMENT'S PLANS TO STRENGTHEN COMMUNITY BUILDING WORK IN TSUEN
WAN.
+ THE DISTRICT OFFICE, OF COURSE, HAS ALWAYS CARRIED OUT THESE FUNCTIONS IN THE PAST, BUT WITH THE ADDITION OF NEW STAFF, WE WILL NOW BE ABLE TO GET OUT INTO THE TOWN WITH A MORE EFFECTIVE SERVICE.
+THESE TWO BRANCH OFFICES WILL FUNCTION VERY MUCH ALONG THE SAME LINES AS THE CITY DISTRICT OFFICES OPERATED BY THE HOME AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT ON HONG KONG ISLAND AND KOWLOON,+ MR. HAYES SAID.
+AS REPRESENTATIVES OF THE DISTRICT OFFICE, WHICH IS THE LAND AUTHORITY, THEY WILL HAVE THE ADDED ADVANTAGE OF BEING ABLE TO CO-ORDINATE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS, + HE ADDED.
+UNDER EACH ASSISTANT DISTRICT OFFICER, AS THEY ARE CALLED WILL BE A NUMBER OF LIASION OFFICERS, AN EXÉCUTIVE OFFICER AND THE FULL BACK-UP RANGE OF SECRETARIAL, CLERICAL, TYPING AND MESSENGER STAFF.
+AT KWAI CHUNG, WHICH HAS THE LARGEST SHARE OF THE POPULATION, THERE WILL BE SIX LIAISON OFFICERS, WHILE THERE WILL BE FOUR AT THE TSUEN WAN BRANCH, INCLUDING ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE GROWING AREA OF TSING YI.
