The "Northern Metropolis Development Strategy" announced by Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor includes "two cities and three circles", and the "New Territories North New Town" to the east includes the Ta Kwu Ling area.
Liu Kwok-hun suggested that the "North New Territories" in the Ta Kwu Ling area in the development strategy should be renamed the "Ta Kwu Ling Development Area" to avoid confusion. He mentioned that the government has referred to this area as the Ta Kwu Ling Ping Che Development Area for many years.
The "Northern Metropolis Development Strategy" proposes to move the Sheung Shui Slaughterhouse to the adjacent land of the Heung Yuen Wai Control Point. Liu Guoxun believes that the government should make a plan to use the Liantang/Heung Yuen Wai port area for commercial and residential purposes, emphasizing that the nearby land is not They should all be used as slaughterhouses and other disgusting facilities, hoping to cope with the economic development of the port on the Shenzhen side.
Chen Yueming, chairman of the Ta Kwu Ling Rural Committee, also participated in the inspection group. She pointed out that the Liantang/Heung Yuen Wai'an was facing the Ta Kwu Ling landfill and hoped that the authorities would find other places to study and incinerate the garbage as soon as possible.
Liu Guoxun added that it is hoped that the Ta Kwu Ling landfill will not be expanded after the current phase is used up, and its use will be changed to recreational facilities or recreational parks to cope with the development of the area.
In addition, the "Shaling Funeral City" has shrunk greatly in response to the new development plan for the North of the New Territories. Liu Guoxun suggested that it be moved to the Hejiayuan near Heheshi where the land has been repossessed recently, and the funeral facilities will be centralized, leaving Shaling for the construction of a university and medical facilities.

Promote the construction of subways on the east extension of the Northern Ring Road to avoid hindering development
The "Northern Metropolis Development Strategy" proposes that within the Luohu/Wen Kam Du comprehensive development hub, a comprehensive commercial and residential area can be developed from Luohu South Station to the area around Luohuling. It is initially estimated that the area around Luohuling can provide about 95 to 11,000 residential units. The proposed alignment of the east extension of the Northern Ring Road also includes Mouse Ridge Station.
Recently, the Secretary for Transport and Housing, Chen Fan, said that the east extension of the Northern Ring Road depends on the population, and options such as light rail and autonomous vehicles can be considered. If the population is large, the "heavy rail system" can also be considered.
Liu Guoxun believes that the area will provide a lot of development space in the future, and believes that the east extension line needs to use "heavy rail" and be built underground.
He mentioned that the use of light rail in Yuen Long in the past had an impact on future development. He hoped that the future development of heavy rail in the North District would allow it to go straight out of the urban area in the future, and it would also be convenient to connect to the Shenzhen Metro.

Many residents of Mouse Ridge welcome the development and the completion of the railway as soon as possible
Chen Yueming emphasized that the residents of Ta Kuling support development, but hope that the authorities will listen to their opinions and try their best to resettle them in the same area when resuming land to ensure that the residents have a place to live.
Yi Weidong, the head of Fenghuanghu Village, who is a farmer, said that they were excited after hearing the policy address, saying that the area has been a restricted area for 70 years. The villagers all hope that the area will be well developed. I believe the government will communicate with them and he will try his best to fight for it. There is no need to relocate, but it also accepts land exchange because it needs farmland to earn a living and hopes to discuss and share with the government.
He mentioned that if you want to relocate, the most important thing is convenient transportation. It is expected that the villagers will respond quite a lot, but even so, he also agrees that the development needs to be coordinated.
He Weimin, an indigenous resident of Mouse Ridge, pointed out that the area used to be a restricted area, and only after the opening of the village in recent years, there have been more people living outside the village. He feels that the road infrastructure needs government support. Recently, when he heard about the construction of the railway, everyone is worried about whether it will take a long time.
He also mentioned that many people in the district use Dingquan to build houses. At present, he still has two small houses that are difficult to decide how to deal with because the development of the district is so fast that it is difficult to make judgments.
Established the Northern Development Alliance to promote development and land resumption to help villagers deal with compensation
Liu Guoxun said that he has decided to set up the Northern Development Alliance and will hold more promotion work and special lectures in the future. He also hopes to help villagers communicate with relevant authorities, such as coordinating exchanges on land resumption and resettlement issues. He also has a lot of experience in handling compensation; Liu pointed out that the alliance will also conduct policy research, including industrial policy and common development, such as considering the construction of Dingxia compensation work, and emphasized that it will continue to promote related work in the future.
Liu Guoxun also mentioned that he hopes that guided tours will be held regularly in the future to let the public know more about the development of New Territories North.

Advocating the North Loop Science and Technology Park branch to consider introducing competing villagers and hoping for the completion of the Hongkong Bridge Station as soon as possible
The Lok Ma Chau Loop Technology Park is undergoing land formation works. Liu Guoxun believes that when the MTR project is close to saturation, it is possible to study the construction of a branch line of the Technology Park first, because all the land in the area is government land. As long as there is determination, there will be no resistance to related projects. , And even consider discussing with Shenzhen to build the branch line by the Shenzhen Railway.
He believes that once the Shenzhen Railway is awarded the responsibility, it is expected to be completed within five years, and it can be put into use before the main line of the Northern Ring Road to meet the transportation needs of the Science and Technology Park.
The Government launched the additional Hung Shui Bridge Station in the Railway Development Strategy 2014, which was approved by the authorities this year.
Chen Zhiliang, the vice chairman of the Rural Committee of Xia Village and the mayor of Tianxin Village, said that he hopes to build the station as soon as possible. He believes that the Hung Shui Bridge area is best used for development. "If you develop well, everyone will have it."
Liu Guoxun added that the Hung Shui Qiao station area has been requisitioned by the government for more than 20 years, but it has been vacant, so the surrounding area can only be used for low-density development.
He believes that the current 5 times plot ratio of the Hung Shui Bridge Development Area is still considered low. Chen Fan pointed out that in the Legislative Council’s response, the authorities had pointed out that only a few thousand people were occupied in the area, so the railway construction was disproportionate; he believed that the government should change it. It is forward-looking and shortens the construction of Hung Shui Bridge Station so that it can be used by the first batch of residents and is compatible with the development of the Qianhai Line in the future.

Liu Guoxun also inspected an unstarted resettlement housing estate of the Housing Society. He mentioned that the land resumption in this area will affect the progress of land resumption because the resettlement housing estate has not been completed. Benefits. He mentioned that in the past, officials would refuse the public housing waiting list on the grounds of injustice. However, he emphasized that this plan "just allocate a few hundred units, and you can exchange (can build) tens of thousands of public housing units."
