our investment in new homes, an investment that will also go a long way towards
ensuring that we are on the front foot in addressing the housing need.

local businesses and I have no doubt that the ripple effects of benefit will be
felt throughout the county over the next five years and beyond.鈥�

鈥淎mbitious regeneration schemes such as 香港王中王最快开奖结果 Council鈥檚 Strategic Housing

with local companies, we intend to create extensive opportunities for training
