• Andrew Wan backs Tuen Mun terminal conversion

Andrew Wan talks to RTHK's Janice Wong

Democratic Party lawmaker Andrew Wan on Thursday said that he supports the idea to convert the container terminal land near Tuen Mun into a residential area, provided other infrastructure are also put in place..

Wan, who is also the vice-chairman of the Legco's panel on housing, was reacting to a suggestion by the Task Force on Land Supply, which said 22,000 flats could be built at the site of the 65 hectare River Trade Terminal.

Wan said with the usage rate of the container terminal on a decline, the government should look at the plan's feasibility.

But he said that the government needs to make sure there are enough hospitals and transport links to served the area if the plan goes ahead.

He told RTHK's Janice Wong he hoped the government would make available more details about this plan before Legco debate on land supply that is coming up in April.
