TWO OTHER IMPORTANT TASKS NECESSARY IN THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE SUB-DISTRICT WERE THE NEED TO IMPROVE THE ENVIRONMENT OF THE AREA AND TO ALLEVIATE CONGESTION IN ABERDEEN HARBOUR.
+ALTHOUGH MUCH OF THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT IN SOUTHERN DISTRICT HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED IN THE PAST 10 YEARS, FULL DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA STILL HAS TO TAKE SOME YEARS TO COMPLETE, MR SIU SAID.
+WITH CO-ORDINATED EFFORT FROM GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS, THE DISTRICT WILL BE DEVELOPED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PLAN AND THE LOCAL ENVIRONMENT WILL BE MUCH IMPROVED IN THE FUTURE, HE CONCLUDED.
