Review group for NLCDPs in old urban areas appointed
The Government has appointed Professor Felice Lich Mak as the Chairperson of the Review Group for the Pilot Neighbourhood Level Community Development Projects (NLCDPs) in Old Urban Areas. Ten other members have also been appointed to serve on the Review Group.
Announcing this today (Friday), a Government spokesman said the review of the two pilot NLCDPs now serving the old urban areas of Mong Kok and Nam Cheong was decided upon by the Executive Council (ExCo) in December 1995 following consideration of requests to extend the service of NLCDPs.
"The principal task of the Review Group is to examine the effectiveness of these two existing pilot NLCDPs, and to make recommendations on the need for the continuation of the pilot scheme and whether NLCDP services should be extended to other old urban areas," he said.
Members of the Review Group are drawn from a wide cross-section of the community, the spokesman noted. In addition to professionals, academics and community leaders, members include two representatives of the Hong Kong Council of Social Service and a team leader of a subvented agency. They are:
Mr Tung Chi-fat- Executive Director, The Neighbourhood Advice Action Council
Prof Wong Siu-lun - Professor, Department of Sociology, University of Hong Kong
