The Secretary for Transport and Housing, Mr Frank Chan Fan, visited Southern District this afternoon (July 25) to meet with local District Councillors and visit a youth centre.

     Mr Chan began his visit by meeting members of the Southern District Council (SDC) to exchange views on transport and housing issues.

     After the meeting, Mr Chan, together with the Chairman of the SDC, Mr Chu Ching-hong; the Vice Chairman of the SDC, Mr Chan Fu-ming; and the District Officer (Southern), Mrs Dorothy Ma, visited the Warehouse Teenage Club, which is housed in the former Aberdeen Police Station. Mr Chan toured the centre to see the relics of the old police station, the music studio, Maker Space (a shared space with woodworking and metalworking tools) and adventure facilities. He also chatted with young people there.

     Two secondary school students participating in the "Be a Government Official for a Day" programme also joined the visit to experience the work of the Secretary for Transport and Housing, and to enhance their understanding of the transport and housing policies.
