DB COMMITTEE TO DISCUSS NT EXEMPTED HOUSE POLICY

A CO-OPTED MEMBER OF THE SHA TIN DISTRICT BOARD'S DEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING COMMITTEE WILL PRESENT A PAPER SEEKING REMODELLING OF THE GOVERNMENT'S POLICY ON "EXEMPTED" HOUSES IN THE NEW TERRITORIES AT A COMMITTEE MEETING ON WEDNESDAY (FEBRUARY 7).

IN OTHER MATTERS, A BOARD MEMBER WILL ENQUIRE ABOUT POLLUTION CAUSED BY CAR REPAIR AND METAL COMPRESSING UNDERTAKINGS ON AGRICULTURAL LAND.

OTHER MEMBERS WILL ASK IF SHA TIN WILL BE COVERED BY THE PROPOSED SCHEME TO SELL PUBLIC HOUSING FLATS TO SITTING TENANTS AND WHETHER THE DISTRICT BOARD WILL BE CONSULTED BEFORE THE ANNOUNCEMENT.
