早前有報章大字標題報道"81萬車輛塞爆香江"，內文提到香港汽車數量增長非常迅速，截止今年9月，車輛登記總數已突破81萬輛，相較2011年增加超過12萬輛，5年內增加18%；當中87%的增幅來自私家車，較5年前大幅增加超過10萬輛。
Earlier it was reported in a newspaper article entitled Hong Kong jammed with 810 000 vehicles . The article said that the number of vehicles in Hong Kong has been increasing rapidly . As at September this year the total number of registered vehicles has exceeded 810 000 which is 120 000 more than that in 2011 representing an increase of 18 % in five years
電單車的登記數量已經超過71,000輛，相較5年前亦增加16,000輛。
In other words there is a huge increase of more than 100 000 vehicles in five years . Apart from private vehicles the rate of increase in the number of motor cycles should not be neglected . The total number of registered motor cycles has exceeded 71 000 which is 16 000 more compared with that five years ago
為何在香港供養一輛汽車負擔不少，車位難找，車租越來越貴，還有油錢和稅項亦佔開支很大比重，仍然有那麼多市民堅持擁有汽車？
Why do many people still insist on owning a vehicle despite the high costs involved in keeping a car the difficulties in finding parking space the rising rent of parking space as well as the fuel price and tax which have taken up a large share of their total expenditure?
政府是否應該正視這個新現象，在制訂《香港規劃標準與準則》時一併考慮，從而調整泊車位的供應。
The Government should squarely face this new phenomenon and consider it in the course of formulating HKPSG so as to adjust the supply of parking spaces
我認為香港人確實有一些概念上的改變，而且有實質的需要買車代步。
I believe Hong Kong people have some changes in their way of thinking and they have a real need to buy cars
實質的需要很容易理解，由於香港由市區發展至新界，現時很多年輕家庭主要居住在新界或較偏遠的地區，雖然鐵路網已覆蓋不少地方，但一家三至四口仍有實際需要買車代步。
It is easy to understand this need . Since the development of Hong Kong has extended from the urban areas to the New Territories the younger households mainly live in the New Territories or the relatively remote districts . Although the railway network has a wide coverage but a family of three or four really needs to buy a car for commuting
所以，近年新界屋苑 的車位供應非常緊張，部分屋苑的車位二手價格亦不斷上升，反映出地區的實際需求。
Thus there has been a tight supply of parking spaces in the housing estates of the New Territories in recent years . The price of second - hand parking space in some housing estates has been rising reflecting the actual needs of the people
此外，政府用了很多方法也未能遏止私家車和電單車數目上升，我認為市民觀念上有所改變。
Furthermore although the Government has taken a number of measures it cannot stop the increase in the numbers of private vehicles and motor cycles . I think there is a change in how people think
這是千真萬確的，秘書長也笑了，事實上這是觀念的改變。
That is really what they told me . The Assistant Secretary General is smiling . In fact it is a change in concept
局長，我過去的觀察是，由於政府不想私家車數量上升，因此刻意減少車位的供應，但鑒於現時這種新形勢，這方面是否要作調整呢？
Secretary according to my observations the Government has deliberately reduced the supply of parking spaces to impede the increasing number of private vehicles but given the new trend mentioned above should adjustment be made in this respect?
否則，不能滿足市民這些實際的需求，亦會令政府的管治以至民望受到很大的衝擊。
Otherwise when the actual needs of the people cannot be met it would trigger strong repercussions on the administration and popularity of the Government
既然社會已經改變，市民除了有實際需要外，亦有擁有汽車的願望，我希望政府在車位的數目上不要刻意縮減。
As our society has changed in the sense that people not only have practical needs to buy cars they also have the aspiration to own a car I hope that the Government will not deliberately reduce the number of parking spaces
除了私家車和電單車外，我也要談及營業車輛。
Apart from private vehicles and motor cycles I would like to talk about commercial vehicles too
駕車的升斗市民想找到一個無須離家太遠的泊車位，但現時做不到，導致社會產生另一種怨氣。
At present grass - roots drivers cannot find parking space which are not too far away from their home and this has caused another kind of social grievance
除了車位之外，我亦想說說舊區的現象。
Apart from parking spaces I would like to mention a phenomenon in the old districts
我現時服務的地區是全港，當然我特別熟悉的是九龍城及九龍西一帶。
Although I am now serving all districts in Hong Kong I am definitely more familiar with Kowloon City and Kowloon West
九龍城區是一個舊區，事實上，我理解舊區是在沒有甚麼規劃下形成的，舊區自然發展後，便按實際情況來規劃，這會出現甚麼現象呢？
Kowloon City is an old district . In fact as I understand it Kowloon City has developed without any particular planning . After a district has developed naturally planning will be formulated according to its actual circumstances and what will happen?
由於舊區的住宅和商業用地十分接近，很多污染性行業都在舊區內繼續經營，包括修理汽車場和殯儀事業。
In old districts the residential areas are very close to the commercial areas and many polluting trades such as vehicle maintenance workshops and the funeral business continue to operate there
這些都是在規劃上沒有與時並進地更新，我希望政府認真處理問題，不止面對新區"迫爆"的情況，舊區的規劃更新亦同樣重要。
I hope the Government can seriously address them . Besides handling the problem of overcrowdedness in new districts it is equally important to update the planning in the old districts
尹兆堅議員，由於麥美娟議員、盧偉國議員及易志明議員的修正案獲得通過，我已批准你修改你的修正案措辭，內容已發送各位議員。
Mr Andrew WAN as the amendments of Ms Alice MAK Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok and Mr Frankie YICK have been passed I have given leave for you to revise the terms of your amendment as set out in the paper which has been issued to Members
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：尹兆堅議員就經麥美娟議員、盧偉國議員及易志明議員修正的陳恒鑌議員議案動議的修正案，予以通過。
I now propose the question to you and that is That Mr Andrew WANs amendment to Mr CHAN Han - pans motion as amended by Ms Alice MAK Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok and Mr Frankie YICK be passed
主席，近年來，香港社會經常討論，究竟我們是在社會上生存還是生活？
President in recent years members of the community have often discussed whether we are surviving or living in society
根據目前香港的居住環境和社區環境，我們很難界定自己除了生存以外，是否擁有真正的生活。
In view of the living and community environment in Hong Kong it is very difficult for us to say that apart from staying alive we also have a real life
但是，我們看到的情況卻是背道而馳。
Yet the reality is that things are getting worse
我們感到莫名其妙的是，為何修改一項規劃標準，不是改得更好，而是用行政措施更改後，部門便不用負責，因而不會出錯？
We wondered why improvements were not made to a planning standard after the amendment . Instead after making changes by administrative measures the department concerned will not be held responsible for any wrongs
今天，我的發言主要集中討論泊車位、街市和文康設施，民主黨其他議員稍後會就其他部分作出補充。
Today I will mainly discuss parking spaces markets as well as cultural and leisure facilities while other Members of the Democratic Party will discuss other parts later
主席，在泊車位方面，我們的原則是，我們不會盲目要求興建或建設很多泊車位。
President in respect of parking spaces our principle is that we will not blindly seek to construct or provide a lot of parking spaces
香港需要車位，同時也需要控制車輛的增長，我們要取得平衡。
While we need parking spaces in Hong Kong we also have to control the increase in vehicles; and a balance should be struck
很多大型貨櫃車及旅遊巴長期佔用街坊所說的"梗位"，而這些"梗位"都是非法的。
Many large container trucks and coaches have persistently occupied the fixed parking spaces so - called by the residents and such parking spaces are illegal
2011年，私家車領牌數字約為434,000，到了2016年10月，有關數字急速上升至532,000，升幅超過兩成。
In 2011 there were about 434 000 licensed private cars; the figure has risen sharply to 532 000 in October 2016 an increase of over 20 %
不論議會同事有否駕車，他們在假日到商場附近、與家人飲茶或與街坊交談便會知道，商場周邊總 會塞車。
It does not matter whether Honourable colleagues have cars they can observe by going to shopping centre during holidays having meals with family members or talking to kaifongs that the traffic around shopping centres is always very congested
其中一兩條線總是"打蛇餅"，駕車人士都要等泊車。
There are long queues on one or two lanes as motorists have to wait for parking spaces
我覺得這個情況不尋常，而且已經持續一段長時間，當局沒有藉口不予正視。
I think this unusual situation has persisted for a long time and the authorities have no excuses not to address the problem
至於公園，全港多個地區也有文康設施、公園和休閒用地不足的情況。
As for parks there is a shortage of cultural and leisure facilities parks and open spaces in many districts over the territory
區內的青年人、老年人或其他民眾，如有需要使用社區設施或文康設施，也要拼個你死我活。
If young people the elderly or other members of the public in the district want to use community facilities or cultural and leisure facilities they have to compete intensely
每年到了考試季節，要到圖書館、自修室的莘莘學子也很可憐。
Each year during examination time students who want to study in libraries and study rooms are having a difficult time
主席，我覺得葵青的例子相當鮮明，因為有一幅葵涌公園用地一直空置，只是在"曬太陽"。
President I think the Kwai Tsing example is rather vivid . The Kwai Chung Park site has been left vacant and sunbathing for a long time
但是，沼氣問題後來已獲解決，當局亦已在2000年證實沒有問題，並將公園交還康樂及文化事務署管理。
However as it was claimed that biogas was found the park had not been opened . The biogas problem was later resolved and the authorities confirmed in 2000 that the place was fine and the park was handed over to the Leisure and Cultural Services Department for management
土地是香港十分貴重的資源，我真的不明白，當局為何一方面不提供足夠設施，另一方面不開放現有資源、土地或設施？
Land resources are extremely precious in Hong Kong I really do not understand why the authorities do not provide adequate facilities or open up the existing resources land or facilities
我希望今天局方可以作出回應。
I hope that the Bureau can give a response today
至於公營街市，大家也知道，我們早前特別提出一項議案討論這問題。
As for public markets we had moved a motion earlier to discuss this issue
我在修正案也提及，根據原來的《規劃標準》，每55至65戶家庭便應設立一個公營街市檔位，或每1萬人應設立約40至45個檔位。
I also mentioned in the amendment the standard of providing one public market stall for every 55 to 65 households or approximately 40 to 45 stalls per 10 000 persons under HKPSG
大家也知道，新建的公營街市會是一座綜合服務大樓，裏面會有我剛才提及的社康設施，包括圖書館、室內 游泳池或運動場等。
As far as we know the new public market will be located inside a community services building with the community facilities I have just mentioned including library indoor swimming pool or sports ground etc
我真的不明白，為何政府不願意按照這個標準來提供適切的服務，讓到圖書館或買菜的市民可以得到應有的服務。
I really do not understand why the Government is reluctant to provide suitable services according to this standard so that people who go to library or go to market for grocery shopping can get their entitled services
此外，我想指出，由於政府不肯執行有關的《規劃標準》，令領展霸權十分猖獗，連買菜也會出現壟斷，香港的情況真是相當荒謬。
Moreover I would also like to point out as the Government is unwilling to implement HKPSG Link REITs hegemony has become rampant and even grocery shopping will be monopolized; the situation in Hong Kong is really ridiculous
我認為要解決公營街市的問題，除了回購領展外，另一個好辦法是用市場力量，以街市制衡街市。
To solve the problem of public markets besides buying back shares of Link REIT another effective solution is to use market forces to counteract markets with markets
我希望局長可以作出具體回應。
I hope the Secretary can give a specific response
主席，首先在此要感謝陳恒鑌議員提出有關《香港規劃標準與準則》的議題，讓我們可一起辯論。
President first of all I would like to thank Mr CHAN Han - pan for moving the motion on the Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines HKPSG so that we are able to engage in this debate
所以，我認為最重要的是怎樣執行。
For this reason I think what matters most is how to implement such standards and guidelines
天水圍的住宅樓宇於1992年開始入伙，2006年該區人口已達差不多27萬。
Residential buildings in Tin Shui Wai began to take in residents in 1992 and the population of that district already reached some 270 000 in 2006
天水圍之所以有眾多問題，包括缺乏醫療服務，令市民苦不堪言，正是因為政府沒有根據《規劃標準》落實目標。
The numerous problems in Tin Shui Wai such as the lack of health care services that impose severe hardship on people are exactly due to the Governments failure to implement the objectives under HKPSG
最大的問題是沒有預留用地，因而無法落實建議。
The biggest problem is that no sites are reserved for implementing the proposals
新屋邨居民入伙之後，發現設施不足，想亡羊補牢也做不到。
Following the intake of residents in the new estates remedial measures cannot be adopted even if facilities are found to be inadequate
香港這麼小的地方，規劃都做得不好，實在非常不合理，亦令人難以置信。
It is really very unreasonable and inconceivable that in such a small place as Hong Kong planning is so poorly formulated
政府在此事上絕對有責任。
The Government must be held accountable in this regard
如果國家的五年規劃也按照香港的執行方法，國家不可能好像現時般發展迅速。
If the five - year plans of our country were executed in a similar way as that of Hong Kong our country would not have developed as rapidly as it is today
政府於2014年公布《長遠房屋策略》，訂下建屋目標，在各區覓地興建房屋。
In 2014 the Government announced the Long Term Housing Strategy to set home production targets and it has set about identifying sites for housing construction in various districts
雖然至今仍然無法達標，但最低限度都有目標。
Although the targets have yet to be fulfilled at least some targets have been set
我在此期望局長能夠為香港的發展及市民的需要，盡快修訂現有的《香港規劃標準與準則》。
I hereby expect the Secretary to expeditiously amend the existing HKPSG in response to Hong Kongs development and peoples needs
代理主席，今天我們討論更新《香港規劃標準與準則》，有關的原議案及多項修正案都提出要增加泊車位、公眾街市及文康設施，以優化生活環境。
Deputy President we are discussing the updating of the Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines HKPSG today . The original motion and various amendments have proposed an increase in parking spaces public markets as well as cultural and leisure facilities to improve the living environment
但是，大家千萬不要忽略將幼兒教育及託兒服務納入社區的規劃內。
However we must not forget to include pre - school education and child care services in community planning
我要問局長，當局會有多仔細、多具體地將這些標準納入《規劃標準》內？
I would like to ask the Secretary How specific and detailed will these standards be included in HKPSG?
民主黨尹兆堅議員的修正案具體提到，要將幼兒教育服務納入《規劃標準》的社區設施項目，並制訂每2,500名兩歲以下幼兒設100個教育服務名額的標準；把全日制幼稚園學額的規劃標準，增至每1,000名3歲至5歲幼童設500個全日制學額。
The amendment of Mr Andrew WAN from the Democratic Party specifically mentions incorporating early childhood education service into the item of community facilities in HKPSG and setting the standard of providing 100 education service places for every 2 500 children under two years of age; raising the planning standard for full - day kindergarten places to providing 500 full - day places for every 1 000 children between the age of three to five
在提出理據前，我想講述一段個人經歷。
Before presenting my justifications I would like to relate my personal experience
今年3月，由於我是區議員，當天要出席區議會會議，會議嚴重超時，而我太太亦要超時工作，以致無人接我的4歲女兒放學，我唯有先離開會議場地接她放學，但由於沒有人照顧她，我無奈地帶她到區議會開會。
One day in March this year I had to attend a District Council meeting as I was a District Council member . As the meeting seriously overran and my wife had to work overtime both of us could not pick up my four - year - old daughter from school . So I left the meeting venue to pick her up from school but as there was nobody to take care of her I had no choice but brought her to the District Council for the meeting
當時受到不少人非議，有建制派議員說："我們帶'某某'來開會，又可不可以呢？
At that time I was criticized by a number of members and a pro - establishment member said Could we bring so - and - so with us to the meeting?
" 其實，這些都不是重點，我重點是想讓局長和政府知道，有些雙職父母並無選擇，由於缺乏全日制託兒名額，他們必須要這樣做。
These are actually not the main points . My main point is to draw the attention of the Secretary and the Government that some dual - income parents have no choice but to bring their children to work because of the lack of full - day child care places
我的例子只是冰山一角，有很多婦女更因這原因而要辭去工作。
My case is just the tip of the iceberg and many women have to quit their jobs for this reason
當中原因不難理解，因為政府現時提供的託兒服務不足，亦礙於中國人的傳統觀念，兒童主要由女性照顧，令很多女性放棄事業，選擇照顧家庭。
The reasons are not difficult to understand which include shortage of child care services currently provided by the Government and the traditional Chinese concept that children should be taken care of by mother . Therefore many women have given up their careers and stayed at home to take care of their families
其實，政府昔日亦曾規定每個2萬人的社區，設立一間0歲至6歲的幼兒中心，但近年政府並無按《規劃標準》提供託兒服務，全港各區的資助獨立幼兒中心使用率，大部分達到100%，但政府拒絕大幅增加資助名額，令社區中很多家長完全求助無門。
As a matter of fact the Government had previously specified that one child care centre for children between the age of zero to six should be provided for every 20 000 - member community but in recent years the Government has not provided child care services according to HKPSG . Most subsidized independent child care centres in various districts in Hong Kong have 100 % utilization rate . Yet the Government has refused to substantially increase the number of subsidized places consequently many parents in the community cannot find any help at all
人口政策督導委員會於2015年表示支持加強託兒服務，以釋放婦女勞動力，協助婦女兼顧工作與家庭，但當局在婦女就業方面做了甚麼？
In 2015 the Steering Committee on Population Policy expressed support for strengthening child care services to unleash women workforce and assist women in fulfilling work and family commitments . What has the Administration done with regard to womens employment?
據統計，香港0歲至4歲兒童數目達到28萬人，但當局提供的各種託兒服務只有3萬個名額。
According to statistics the number of children between the age of zero to four in Hong Kong has reached 280 000 but only 30 000 child care service places are provided by the authorities
目前，全港兩歲以下的全日制幼兒中心名額有1,047個，0歲至1歲只有700個，但同齡幼童卻超過10萬名，即每97名兒童才有1個學額，有些分區更是完全沒有。
At present there are 1 047 full - day child care centre places for children under the age of two and only 700 for children between the age of zero to one but there are over 100 000 children of the two age groups meaning that there is only 1 place for every 97 children and there is even no such place in some districts such as Tai Po
所以，最受家長歡迎的受資助全日制獨立幼兒中心的名額，使用率已經完全飽和。
Therefore the utilization rate of subsidized full - day independent child care centre places which are most popular among parents has been fully saturated
實際經驗告訴我，兒童1歲開始排隊，也未必輪得到。
Practical experience tells me that parents may not be able to get a place even if they start queuing up when their children are one year old
因此，民主黨要求增加全日制幼兒學額。
For this reason the Democratic Party has requested for an increase in the number of full - day child care places
2015年非牟利幼稚園學額分配，半日制大約是123,000，全日制是46,000，半日與全日制的比例大約是7：3，民主黨要求將這比例最少提高至5：5。
As regards non - profit - making kindergarten places in 2015 there were 123 000 half - day places and 46 000 full - day places and the ratio between half - day and full - day places is 7col3 . The Democratic Party has requested increasing this ratio to 5col5 at least
根據政府剛公布的數字，參加免費優質幼稚園教育計劃的幼稚園，有八成的半日制幼稚園將會免費，但全日制及長全日制幼稚園未能獲得全面資助。
According to the figures just released by the Government among kindergartens joining the Free Quality Kindergarten Education Scheme 80 % of half - day kindergartens will be fully subsidized but full - day kindergartens and long whole - day kindergartens will not be fully subsidized
由於須繳交學費，家長可能會選擇較便宜的半日制幼稚園，以致女性勞動人口遭受束縛，與剛才局長所說政府近年主張的家庭友善政策背道而馳。
As parents have to pay tuition fees they may choose cheaper half - day kindergartens thus female workforce participation is still constrained contrary to the family - friendly policy advocated by the Government in recent years
在半日制幼稚園的制度下，加上託兒服務有欠完善，令很多雙職家長苦無選擇。
Under the system of half - day kindergartens coupled with inadequate child care services many dual - income parents have no choice
試問政府還有甚麼建議讓家長可以照顧下午放學的小童？
Can the Government offer any suggestion that can allow parents to take care of children who finish school in the afternoon?
當我們討論更新《規劃標準》時，幼兒教育及託兒服務是每個有子女的家庭不可缺少的社區設施。
In discussing the updating of HKPSG we must note that early childhood education and child care services are indispensable community facilities for every family with children
我要求政府在更新《規劃標準》時，將以上有關幼兒教育及託兒服務的具體標準納入《規劃標準》。
I request the Government to incorporate the specific standards relating to early childhood education and child care services into HKPSG in the course of updating
代理主席，我曾在今年11月16日的立法會會議上，就地區設施的規劃和管理提出一項口頭質詢，問及政府有否計劃在人口密度越來越高的大圍，尋找合適的地方興建綜合市政大樓，為大圍居民提供一站式服務，包括街市、圖書館、託兒所、護老院及停車場等。
Deputy President I raised an oral question on the planning and management of district facilities at the Legislative Council meeting on 16 November this year asking whether the Government has plans to identify a suitable site in the increasingly high - density Tai Wai for building a municipal complex and provide one - stop services for the residents including markets libraries nurseries care and attention homes for the elderly and car parks etc
當時，發展局局長在答覆中清楚表明，政府現時未有計劃在大圍興建新的綜合市政大樓。
At the time the Secretary for Development made it clear in his reply that the Government has no plans at present to construct a new municipal complex in Tai Wai
不少大圍居民和區議員聽到這消息後都感到非常失望和不滿，並質疑政府的地區規劃"離地"，未能滿足市民和社區的實際需要。
Many Tai Wai residents and District Council members are very disappointed and dissatisfied with the news . They questioned whether the Governments district planning is impractical and fails to meet the actual needs of the public and the community
所以，我支持這項議案，促請政府全面檢視和更新現時的《香港規劃標準與準則》和相關的城市規劃指引。
Therefore I support this motion urging the Government to comprehensively review and update the existing Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines HKPSG and the relevant town planning guidelines
除了提出上述口頭質詢外，我亦曾在今年11月23日提出"力促市場健康競爭，制衡領展獨大局面"的議案，希望政府正視各區的社區設施和服務不足，商品及零售商鋪選擇不多，影響居民日常生活的問題，並建議政府推出一些短期措施，包括設立臨時墟市及推出以地區為本的先導計劃，在有需要地區興建公營街市，並邀請社企參與營運。
Apart from raising the above oral question I also proposed a motion on vigorously promoting healthy market competition to counteract the market dominance of Link REIT on 23 November this year hoping that the Government would address the problems of inadequate community facilities and services in various districts as well as insufficient choice of commodities and retail shops which affected the daily life of residents . I also proposed that the Government should introduce short - term measures such as setting up temporary bazaars and introducing district - based pilot schemes for building public markets in districts with such a need and inviting social enterprises to operate
長遠來說，政府應研究在各區興建新型綜合市政大樓，以及改善和提升現有市政大樓的設施和質素，為居民提供更全面、更切合居民需要的社區設施。
In the long run the Government should conduct studies on building new municipal services complexes in various districts as well as improve and upgrade the facilities of existing municipal services buildings so as to provide residents with more comprehensive and appropriate community facilities
食物及衞生局局長高永文先生在總結發言時提到，政府在較早時候已經將過往按照人口、住戶數目等規劃標準，修改為現時較有彈性，可以考慮一籃子因素的規劃標準。
Dr KO Wing - man the Secretary for Food and Health pointed out in his concluding remarks that the Government had earlier modified the previous planning criteria which were based on population and the number of households and more flexible planning criteria which took a basket of factors into consideration have been adopted
在新的《規劃標準》下，對於一些已有領展街市或其他私營街市，而數目上符合政府的《規劃標準》的地區，政府可以因其他不穩定因素而考慮是否需要在那些地區興建新街市。
Under the new HKPSG for areas that already have Link REIT markets or other private markets and the number of which conforms to HKPSG Government may consider whether it is necessary to build new markets in these areas for the factor of uncertainty
但修訂有關標準是否真的對市民有利？
Is it really beneficial to the public to amend the relevant standards?
事實上，根據規劃署的《規劃標準》有關公眾街市的條文，原本規定每1萬人便需要提供40至50個公眾街市檔位，但當局在2009年作出修訂，刪除了人口與街市檔位比例的標準，在作出刪除後，政府是否真的可以更彈性地考慮一籃子因素，在有需要的地區興建公眾街市？
In fact according to the provision on public markets in HKPSG compiled by the Planning Department it was originally required that 40 to 50 public market stalls should be provided for every 10 000 persons but the authorities amended it in 2009 to delete the population - based planning standard for public markets . After the deletion can the Government really be more flexible in considering a basket of factors and build public markets in areas where such need arises?
相信大家都心中有數。
I believe we all know the answer
實際上，一些地區，例如東涌、天水圍和大圍等多個地區都出現社區設施和街市檔位不足等問題，對居民的日常生活帶來很多不便。
In fact in areas such as Tung Chung Tin Shui Wai and Tai Wai there are the problems of inadequate community facilities and market stalls causing inconveniences to the daily lives of residents . Moreover the deletion of the population - based planning standard for market stalls has given rise to loopholes
此外，取消街市檔位按照人口釐定的標準卻造成漏洞，就是領展可以無須根據原有規定，按人口提供相應比例的街市檔位，同時亦可將原來規劃為街市的用地，在無須申請兼免補地價的情況下，改為興建商場，為領展帶來更多商場收益，但市民卻成為最終受害者。
Link REIT has thus exploited such loopholes by not providing market stalls proportionate to the population as originally specified . It has also constructed shopping centres on sites originally earmarked for markets without having to apply or pay premium . While the shopping centres will generate more revenues for Link REIT the public will ultimately be victimized
據報道，今年2月底關閉的天水圍天耀街市，正是在2009年修訂《規劃標準》後，領展將旗下街市改建為商場的例子。
As reported the Tin Yiu Market in Tin Shui Wai which was closed in late February this year is an example of a Link REIT market being redeveloped into a shopping centre after the amendment of HKPSG in 2009
我們實在不希望再看到類似事情發生，對居民造成影響。
We really do not want the occurrence of similar incidents which affect local residents
希望政府正視有關問題，並研究可否從批地和地契方面着手，加強對領展的約束和規限。
We hope that the Government will seriously address these issues and examine whether it can impose stronger restraints and restrictions on Link REIT through land grant and land lease
代理主席，我明白興建公眾街市要佔用政府用地，並涉及公帑開支，但政府亦應兼顧市民的實際生活需要及經濟負擔能力和壓力。
Deputy President I understand that the building of public markets involves the use of Government land and public expenditures . But the Government should also take into account the actual living necessities affordability and pressure of the public
