The Shek Lei Interim Housing Resident Concern Group was dissatisfied with the resettlement arrangements of the Housing Department.

Ms. Ho, a resident of the transit house, pointed out that in recent months, when residents responded to the official comments through different channels, they all responded that because the concerned group was in the process of judicial review of the application for permission, it was "inappropriate to give a detailed reply" at this stage.
