Hong Kong lawmakers on Friday voiced concerns about the lack of parking at the upgraded Huanggang border crossing, deeming shuttle bus services inconvenient. Secretary for Security Chris Tang Ping-keung said authorities plan to build a nearby car park with shuttle buses to the checkpoint. Lawmakers called for an on-site public car park similar to the one at Heung Yuen Wai crossing.
Hong Kong authorities reported spending HK$1.13 billion (US$144.27 million) on last year's Legislative Council election, nearly 35% more than in 2021. The Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau revealed the figure in a written response to lawmakers' inquiries on Thursday, citing rises in technology expenses, staff salaries and venue rentals. The poll, held on December 7, elected 90 lawmakers.
