“Meet-the-Public Scheme” (“the Scheme”) of the Southern District Council was introduced in 1982. The Scheme aims at strengthening the communication between the Council and residents in the district, as well as providing a channel for the public to seek help from District Council Members. At the early implementation stage of the Scheme, District Council Members met the public regularly on a rotational basis.
To utilize resources more effectively and with a view to enhancing the flexibility of the Scheme, a streamlined approach has been adopted to replace the regular meeting sessions since January 1997. Through the face-to-face discussion, District Council Members are able to have better understanding of the problems and needs of the residents, and help them to improve the quality of life by providing assistance in solving their problems. Residents’ views are reflected to the Government appropriately, so that appropriate effective follow-up actions against the relevant issues can be taken.
At present, residents who wish to meet the District Council Members can contact them directly. Alternatively, arrangement can also be made through the Southern District Council Secretariat or the Southern District Office. The details are set out as follows:
Members of the public can visit in person or telephone the Southern District Council Secretariat or the Sub-offices of the Southern District Office for making an appointment with individual District Council Member:

The Southern District Council Secretariat will keep a summary record of the request raised by the person concerned and contact the relevant District Council Member according to the area where that person belongs to or the area he prefers. The time and venue of meeting will be arranged on this basis. The meeting can be held either at the District Council Member’s office or the Sub-offices of the Southern District Office.
