Public invited to join country parks liaison group meeting
Countryside visitors with good suggestions in mind to improve services and facilities at the territory's country parks are invited to enrol as participants in the coming Country Parks Visitor Liaison Group meeting in January next year.
Other members of the public with first-hand experience of country parks are also welcome to take part in the discussions on January 18 (Saturday) with Agriculture and Fisheries Department (AFD) staff on matters relating to these public scenic parks.
An AFD spokesman said the coming meeting would be the seventh round of discussions of the liaison group since its establishment in late 1993.
He said: "The previous meetings had proved useful as there were direct and frank exchanges of views between participants and AFD on services provided at country parks and on suggestions concerning the provision of these services.
"We hope that participants would put forward more suggestions in the January 18 meeting which will be held between 2.30 and 4.30 pm at the Ranger Head Office, Shing Mun Country Park."
