THE INTER-DEPARTMENTAL COMMITTEE ON THE REVIEW OF DISTRICT BOARD CONSTITUENCY BOUNDARIES HAS PROPOSED TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF CONSTITUENCIES IN SOUTHERN FROM THE PRESENT SIX TO SEVEN, AND THE NUMBER OF ELECTED SEATS FROM 11 TO 13.
A MAJOR CHANGE IS TO SPLIT THE PRESENT ABERDEEN AND AP LEI CHAU CONSTITUENCY INTO TWO CONSTITUENCIES, ABERDEEN AND HARBOUR AND AP LEI CHAU AND INCREASE THE TWO ELECTED SEATS TO THREE.
ANOTHER MAJOR CHANGE IS TO DETACH BAYS FROM THE WONG CHUK HANG AND BAYS CONSTITUENCY AND TO ALIGN IT WITH STANLEY AND SHEK 0, LEAVING WONG CHUK HANG AS A CONSTITUENCY ON ITS OWN.
THE TWO CONSTITUENCIES WOULD EACH HAVE TWO ELECTED SEATS, AS COMPARED TO TWO SEATS FOR WONG CHUK HANG AND BAYS AND ONE SEAT FOR STANLEY AND SHEK O AT PRESENT.
THE OTHER THREE CONSTITUENCIES -- TIN WAN AND SHEK PAI WAN, POK FU LAM AND WAH FU -- WOULD CONTINUE TO HAVE TWO ELECTED SEATS EACH.
THERE ARE ALSO PROPOSALS FOR A SLIGHT REALIGNMENT OF THE NORTHERN BOUNDARY OF WAH FU CONSTITUENCY WITH POK FU LAM AND THE SOUTHERN BOUNDARY OF TIN WAN AND SHEK PAI WAN CONSTITUENCY WITH ABERDEEN.
LARGE SCALE MAPS SHOWING THE VARIOUS PROPOSALS WILL BE DISPLAYED AT THE PUBLIC ENQUIRY COUNTERS OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OFFICE AND SUB-OFFICES IN ABERDEEN CENTRE, WAN FU AND STANLEY UNTIL APRIL 8 FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.
THE DISTRICT OFFICE WILL ALSO HOLD A BRIEFING TO EXPLAIN THE PROPOSALS TO AREA COMMITTEES AND LOCAL ORGANISATIONS.
MEANWHILE, AT NEXT WEEK'S MEETING, A NUMBER OF BOARD MEMBERS WOULD ASK QUESTIONS CONCERNING SQUATTER CONTROL, NORTH AP LEI CHAU DEVELOPMENT CLEARANCE FACTORY CANTEENS INWONG CHUK HANG, URBAN COUNCIL'S SWIMMING LESSONS, AND THE RELOCATION OF A PLB STAND IN TUNG SING ROAD.
OTHER ITEMS ON THE AGENDA INCLUDE THE DISTRICT BOARD AND AREA COMMITTEES SEMINAR HELD LAST MONTH, AND REPORTS OF MEETINGS OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE, DISTRICT BOARD COMMITTEES AND THE DISTRICT'S SIX AREA COMMITTEES.
NOTE TO EDITORS:
YOU ARE INVITED TO COVER THE MEETING AT 2.30 PM ON THURSDAY IN THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OFFICE CONFERENCE ROOM, NO. 7-11 NAM NING STREET, MEI FUNG COURT, SECOND FLOOR, ABERDEEN CENTRE.
