城規會否決長實黃竹坑申建住宅 Developer's rezoning Application Rejected

經過我們黃竹坑居民和區議會的齊心努力，一致反對地產商企圖將酒店用地改建成為約158個住宅單位地產商可能見形勢不對，反而向城規會申請延期其發展期限(即本來它應在2008年前開始動工興建酒店，現在仍沒有施工，故申請延期四年)，但終於被城規會否決。（我之前的跟進，詳見：http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/our_wch/article?mid=1760，問卷調查：http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/our_wch/article?mid=1713)

昨天在區議會上，規劃署解釋這令長實的酒店項目也同時失效，即這塊無論地產商想興建酒店或住宅，都必須重新申請。我已在會上再次明確反對地產商拖延發展，並企圖興建住宅的手法。

Land developer's aspiration of rezoning the hotel project into a residential was rejected by the Town Planning Board. Pls refer to http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/our_wch/article?mid=1760，and http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/our_wch/article?mid=1713)  to see my previous follow up. You could know the reasons why residents of WCH and the Southern District Council rejected the application.

Yesterday, the Planning Dept explained to the Council that the developer tried to apply to extend the construction period of the site but failed. It meant that not only the rezoning application had failed, but also the hotel programme was became invalid.

The developer needs to apply again if it wanted to build a hotel or residential building. I expressed our rejection that we don't want to have a residential project there again.

送給"阿媽" 生日快樂 Happy Birthday to My "Mam"

以下是特別送給一位非常支持我，自稱可做我＂媽媽＂的網友，今天是她生日，在這裡祝她生日快樂，青春長駐.......並摘錄梵高寄給他弟弟的信送給她，因為她早前送了一枝梵高筆給我。

This article is specially written for a blog friend who suppurts me very much and often visit this blog: she claims that she could be my mam.

Today is her birthday, I wish her all the best. I now borrow Van Gogh's letter to express my gratitude to her, as she had given me a Van Gogh pen a gift to me.

.....................

No woman is old(That does not mean that there are no old woman, but that a woman is not old as long as she loves and is loved.) ...

That a woman is quite a different being than a man, and a being that we do not yet know, at least only quite superficially, as you said, yes, I am sure of it. And that man and wife can be one, that is to say one whole and not two halves, yes, I believe that too.

....Vincent Van Gogh, From a letter to his brother, 31 July, 1874

Dear "Mam",

You are not getting older becasue of this birthday, because you love and are loved by so many people around you.

Wish you all the best. Most importantly, try to find a "father" for a son like me. Haha.

流浪狗肆虐深灣 Street Dogs Problem at Shum Wan Area

我一直都跟進深灣流浪狗問題，漁護署亦有定期跟進。可惜成效欠佳，近來情況惡化，流浪狗肆虐，早前更竟發生居民深夜回家被咬傷的意外，以下是摘引自我網誌留言板的留言(詳見：http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/our_wch/guestbook)。

我向漁護署跟進後，該署已定於下星期一(28/4)於深灣道附近展開特別行動，捕捉流浪狗。

我會繼續跟進這個個案，以免再發生流浪狗傷人及滋擾居民的問題。

徐生,

我的女兒昨日(22-3-2008)晚上12:00坐N72巴士回家，在『陳白沙中學』的站下車，步行回『雅濤閣』， 當行經﹝百佳至深灣遊艇會﹞對面的行人路時， 突然有兩隻野狗從『南朗醫院』的後門邊位走出，撲向咬我女兒的大脾，她拚命爭扎跑過對面馬路，幸好有一個途人經過，把狗區走。

後來，深宵飛的士到『瑪利亞醫院』打了瘋狗症針、破傷風針及每天要去洗傷口及覆診。還在醫院警崗報了案，那當值的警察會通知漁農處捉狗隊跟進。

徐生, 你是我們本區的區議員, 現知會您一聲, 亦希望您能跟進一下，把那些野狗捉去, 免滋擾咬人及擾人清夢等。

I've been following up the issue of street dogs problem at Shum Wan Area since 2006, and the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department sends its people to this area to catch street dogs regularly. However, the result is not good enough to solve the problem.

This problem is getting worse lately. Unfortunately, a Broadview Court resident was hurt by a street dog at Shum Wan Road while she was going home at night. (Pls refer to the message board of this blog(Chinese only: http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/our_wch/guestbook)

I've urged the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department to have a special action to tackle this problem. The Dept agreed finally and will send a team to catch street dogs at Shum Wan Area next Monday.

I'll keep following up this issue to keep street dogs away from our neighbourhood.

積金嘉年華 MPF Carnival（１）

After the public consultation meeting of MTR WCH station and the opening ceremony, we've been busying in organizing the MPF Carnival on the coming Saturday (26 April). I appreciate the hard work of my colleagues very much.

We welcome you to be a volunteer to help us that day.

暫時忙完了上星期四的地鐵諮詢會和辦事處開幕禮後，這些天我和同事忙著統籌這個星期六(26/4)在香港仔舉辦的積金嘉年華。這幾星期真是忙的不知人間何世，辛苦我的同事了。

有興趣做義工的朋友，歡迎隨時與我們聯絡。

 

天公作美 開幕禮順利完成

上星期六的天氣差點把我嚇壞，擔心星期天的開幕會受影響，甚至被迫取消(http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/our_wch/article?mid=2446&fid=-1&action=next)。但老天對我太眷顧了，天氣放晴，太陽伯伯中午時先出來跟我say hi，祝我開幕成功。一位老街坊說這是自助人助天自助！

這樣的好日子，好聽的話不妨多講，哈哈。

再次感謝星期天出席的嘉賓、街坊、朋友、同事、同學和網友，感謝你們抽空到來，分享我的喜悅。

我繼續努力，做到最好，就如掛在辦事處裡面的書法一樣：全力為市民服務！

以上是各主禮嘉賓致辭。

我特別向區議會主席馬月霞校長致送紀念品，事前我跟校長說她一直是黃竹坑的區議員，現在我也算是她的接班人了，以後會特別努力為黃竹坑居民服務。她聽後大笑。

這幾位就是出席的深灣街坊，多謝大家的支持。

記者的採訪，以下是蘋果日報4月21日的報導：

多謝網友Joe特意過來祝我開幕,謝謝你啊。

這位就利害了,趙家賢Andrew是全港最年輕的區議員。

忙了一整天後，終於可以和街坊坐下來，休息一下，並感謝街坊和義工的幫忙。

徐遠華呼籲：出席地鐵諮詢會 Public Consultation Meeting on the WCH MTR Station

這兩天我們忙著做問卷調查，就是為了準備這次的諮詢大會(見：http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/our_wch/article?mid=2371)。我在此再次呼籲黃竹坑的居民出席諮詢會，向港鐵提出建議，反映意見和訴求。

黃竹坑地鐵站問卷調查 Survey on the Wong Chuk Hang MTR Station

很抱歉,這兩天都忙著做地鐵問卷，遲了上載這份單張上來。

這兩天我和同事早晚分別在黃竹坑巴士總站和雅濤閣巴士站展開問卷調查，以掌握最新民意，為本星期四的黃竹坑地鐵諮詢會作準備。

到目前為止，加上傳真回來的問卷，我們共收回216份問卷。其中表示不滿現時的地鐵站及出入口位置的受訪者有151份，佔總數的70% ；表示滿意的有65份，佔總數的30%。

表示出入口應設於黃竹坑巴士總站的受訪者有88位，佔不滿現時設計總數的58%，表示應於南濤閣對面設出入口的受訪者有122位，佔不滿現時設計總數的81%。其中，雅濤閣居民認為應於南濤閣對面設出入口的比例明顯比其他屋苑高明顯反映出雅濤閣居民對現時的地鐵站設計遠離雅濤閣的不滿。

大家可參考我去年的同類問卷調查的結果：http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/our_wch/article?mid=1286

以及http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/our_wch/index?l=f&id=12&page=1　

抱歉因這幾天太忙，未能提供英文版。

I'm sorry for not providing the English version of this questionnaire and this article.

 

 

徐遠華網誌瀏覽人次突破一萬！Over 10,000 People Has visited My Blog!

不知不覺，我這個冷門政治地區工作blog寫了約一年後，瀏覽人次今天也衝破一萬了！多謝大家的支持，尤其是經常來這裡瀏覽和留言的常客：祖祖、美寶、一盒子的希望等等。

有時太忙，未能來得及update，會心生不這麼頻密寫blog，甚至會有停寫的念頭。多得大家的支持，我才能堅持下來。畢竟，辛苦工作得到認同是一份很實在的滿足感。我會繼續寫下去的.....

加油，徐遠華

Over10,000 People has visited this blog since last April! There are around 40 people visit my blog everyday; I think this frequency is not bad to a somewhat boring blog which focus on community work of a small district.

My friends, I thank you all for browsing this blog, especially those who often come to visit: there are Joe Joe, mabel, 一盒子的希望 and many more. It's such a sense of recognition and stafisfaction comes from your visit, and it really drives me to keep on updating.

 

時事追擊今晚七點....ATV 7pm Tonight

今晚七點的時事追擊會播出我早前的訪問(http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/our_wch/article?mid=2190&prev=2069&next=2182)，我第一次上專題節目，不知道出來的效果怎樣．．．

I'll be shown on ATV's program tonight at 7pm. It's my first time on such program and I'm wondering what I will be like on TV.(see: http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/our_wch/article?mid=2190&prev=2069&next=2182   )

深灣花圃施工 Beautifing Shum Wan Road

爭取近一年後，深灣道花圃擴闊工程終於開工，估計可在本月內竣工後即種上花卉！(我以前的跟進，請見：http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/our_wch/searchblog_art?p=%E8%8A%B1%E5%9C%83&my=1)

但民政處只落實了我建議的其中一部分，它並不負責將斜坡前面那一小段的明渠加上上蓋，保障行人安全，指那是地政署的責任；而地政又以技術困難為理由推卻，運署署則指並不存在潛在的危險……

其實，如果這次工程包括那一小段的明渠，對居民對政府有百利而無一害，但卻因為政府政門之間的重重架構和官僚，使我們仍要大費周章去爭取上蓋，以保障行人安全。

After proposing for almost one year, the construction work of the small scale improvement project at the Shum Wan Road finally in progress. The construction work will probably be completed in April.(Pls see: http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/our_wch/searchblog_art?p=%E8%8A%B1%E5%9C%83&my=1)

It doesn’t surprise me that the Home Affair Dept(HAD) agrees only to be responsible for part of the my original proposal, which all the irrigation ditches besides the Shum Wan Road should be covered ; HAD claimed that the Lands Dep’t should be responsible for the other parts of the irrigation ditches.

A lot of work still need to be done.

 

長者小巴優惠證

前兩天的單張裡，我宣傳了我們辦事處可以代辦長者小巴優惠證(請見：ttp://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/our_wch/article?new=1&mid=2295)。

雖然說辦事處離主要的民居如南濤閣和雅濤閣只有約十分鐘路程，但畢竟有點偏僻，我和同事都擔心長者們會因此不來辦厘小巴優惠證，但開始兩天後，已有20多位長者親自來office 辦理手續，消除了我們的憂慮。

為了更方便居民，我們將在21/4 和22/4黃昏在陳白沙中學側及雅濤閣巴士總站展開戶外登記站，希望使更多長者受惠小巴優惠。

 

辦事處投入服務！My New Office is Open!

因裝修拖延已久，上星期黃竹坑辦事處一掛上招牌，我就急不待，投入服務(慚愧，其實有不少東西還沒整理好，甚至上網服務也要等到下星期三才有)。

正式的開幕式已訂於4月20日下午2點，在此誠意邀請大家出席，我們會有一個既簡單也不隆重的儀式，象徵辦事處正式開幕。

從單張大家可見，我搬入新辦事處的工作就是預備4月17日晚的地鐵諮詢會(請參考：http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/our_wch/article?mid=2003)：我稍後就會再次展開問卷調查及簽名運動，向港鐵反映我們的訴求。

I can't wait any longer to see my office empty and in a mess, so I decided to work in this office just after the signboard construction was completed.

The official opening ceremony will be held on 20 April at 2pm. I invite you all, if you have time then, to be my guest that day; and to share my happiness.

My first task in this new office will be launching a questionnaire and signature campaign to fight for a nearer MTR station or exits convenient to WCH local residents;  I'll analyze the result of the questionnaire and present the result at the MTR public consultation meeting on 17 April night. (Pls see: http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/our_wch/article?mid=2003)

 

母親節一日遊 Trip on Mother's Day

母親節又快到啦!

今年我們例行舉辦一日遊(行程可見下圖) ，重頭戲依然是中午到鯉魚門吃海鮮。

上星期我們才開始宣傳，反應奇佳！可能和我在黃竹坑開始辦公有關吧。

因為不少街坊是一席一席地買，本來我預計黃竹坑只開一車的，現在已增加到兩架車。想參加的朋友要趁早報名啦。

The Mother's Day is coming! As usual, we are planning a trip on Mother's Day(11 May) to enjoy seafood at Lei Yue Mun.

Many residents've joined this trip, we've ordered an additional bus to serve WCH area. You really need to contact us if you want to reserv seats, or all the seat will be sold out soon.
