Enhancing Work in Districts

71. We will endeavour to promote better understanding with people in the districts, strengthen our capability to provide district services and improve relations with ordinary people. We attach importance to public calls for the Government to step up the resolution of district problems. We will better deploy the functions and resources of the Home Affairs Bureau to enable District Offices to solve problems and improve the quality of life in districts quickly and more effectively. We will strengthen our co-operation with District Councils and support their work. We will review their function and composition at a suitable time. Senior officials and I will step up our contacts with the District Councils, local organisations and residents through various channels. We will pay more attention to district affairs and try harder to understand local views. At the same time, we will make available more channels for local residents to participate in district affairs and demonstrate their leadership.
