THE SPOKESMAN POINTED OUT THAT IT HAD BEEN THE INTENTION THAT WHEN THESE SUB-GROUPS COMPLETED THE PRELIMINARY FACT-FINDING STAGE OF THE IR STUDY, REPRESENTATIVES OF THE PUBLIC WOULD BE INVITED TO JOIN THEM TO GO THROUGH THE IR FINDINGS WITH A VIEW TO MAKING SUITABLE RECOMMENDATIONS TO ACHIEVE THE AIMS OF THE REVIEW.
HALF OF THESE PUBLIC MEMBERS ARE PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE
AND THEY ARE APPOINTED ON THE BASIS OF THE IR OWN EXPERIENCE IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR WHICH IS RELEVANT TO THE WORK OF THE VARIOUS SUB-GROUPS. THE OTHER HALF ARE DRAWN FROM THE DISTRICT BOARD AND OTHER ORGANISATIONS WHICH ARE ENGAGED IN PROMOTING THE WELL-BEING OF THE PUBLIC AT LARGE AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL. THEY WILL ENSURE THAT THE VIEWS OF THE GRASS ROOT ARE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION IN THE FORMULATION OF RECOMMENDATIONS.
THE SUB-GROUPS HAVE IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS CONCENTRATED THE IR ATTENTION ON THE OPERATION OF KOWLOON MOTOR BUS COMPANY AND ARE NOW PUTTING TOGETHER THE MATERIAL THEY HAVE GATHERED AND THE OBSERVATIONS THEY MADE IN DISCUSSIONS AMONG THEIR OWN MEMBERS AND WITH KMB OFFICIALS.
WITH CONTRIBUTION FROM THE TEN NEW MEMBERS, THE SUB-GROUPS WILL GO INTO THE SECOND STAGE OF THE STUDY WITH THE ADDED DIMENSION OF OUTSIDE EXPERTISE AND PUBLIC PARTICIPATION.
THE IR FINAL REPORT IS EXPECTED TO BE PUT TO THE TRANSPORT ADVISORY COMMITTEE IN OCTOBER AND AFTERWARDS TO THE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL.
WITH THE NEW APPOINTMENTS, MEMBERSHIP OF THE FIVE SUB-GROUPS IS AS FOLLOWS 1
