******************************************************************************************
At the invitation of the Government, the Legislative Council (LegCo) Panel on Housing visited the Choi Hing Road Light Public Housing project (Choi Hing Road project) in Ngau Tau Kok today (October 2) to learn about the latest progress of Light Public Housing (LPH) and the living conditions of residents.
Members first received a briefing from the Secretary for Housing, Ms Winnie Ho, on the works progress, construction costs and the resident intake arrangements for the LPH projects. They noted that the design and construction works of all the 13 LPH projects have gradually commenced. Among these, the Choi Hing Road project, where construction began in late 2023 and was completed by the end of June 2025, provides around 2 300 units and is now fully occupied. Members then visited a household of LPH to learn about their living environment and how their quality of life have improved after they moved in.
Additionally, Members inspected the project's transportation and ancillary facilities, including a self-service laundrette, minibus stop and convenience store. During the visit, Members exchanged views with government officials on the operation and management of LPH to explore how adequate services and facilities could be provided to address the daily needs of residents. Members indicated that they would maintain ongoing scrutiny and call for the Government's continuous efforts in enhancing the provision of LPH and the related work.
Members who participated in the visit were the Chairman of the Panel, Mr Stanley Ng, and Panel members Dr Lo Wai-kwok, Dr Wendy Hong, Mr Leung Man-kwong, Mr Kenneth Leung and Mr Chan Hok-fung; as well as non-Panel members Mr Chan Chun-ying, Mr Andrew Lam, Dr Ngan Man-yu and Ms Carmen Kan.
