Supplementary to Question No. 4 in the

Legislative Council on 12 March 1986

Mr. YEUNG

Sir, does the Government have plans to set up building

management co-ordination teams in districts other than Yau Ma Tei and

Eastern as they have proved to be a success. And if so, and what are they?

Secretary for District Administration:

As I have said in my last paragraph,

in addition to the two teams which already existed, we are proposing to set

up two more teams, one of which will be involving management problems in

industrial buildings in Kwai Chung and Tsing Yi and the other in the Chai

Wan or Mongkok area.

Mrs.

CHOW: What steps will Government take regarding old buildings

where tenants and landlords are apathetic towards improving management in

their blocks and thereby creating problems in the common areas of such

buildings?

Secretary for District Administration:

Sir, old buildings are a more difficult

problem and as we improve the new buildings, we may be able to move into the

older ones in future years.

Dr. HO

While it is desirable to make the formation of owners'

incorporations easier, what has Government done to encourage tenants to

participate in such building management committees through some incentive

schemes?
