LegCo expansion completed, ‘Bo Dim’ to remain closed
立法會擴建工程竣工 煲底無得見
A completion ceremony for the main works of the Legislative Council Complex expansion will be held this afternoon (8th). However, the designated protest area known as “Bo Dim”, which has remained closed since the 2019 anti-extradition bill protests because of gathering restrictions and the expansion works, is reportedly not expected to reopen at the same time. It is currently being used as “temporary parking spaces” for lawmakers. Hong Kong Economic Journal quoted members of the Legislative Council Commission as saying that a proposal to reopen “Bo Dim” had been discussed but rejected at a meeting. Those attending reportedly considered that “times have changed” and asked, “Who is still demonstrating now? Even if it were reopened, nobody would use it.” The expansion works on the Legislative Council Complex began in 2022, and the main section was officially completed early this month. Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu and senior government officials will attend this afternoon’s completion ceremony, which will be marked by a roast-pig-cutting ceremony and tree planting.
立法會綜合大樓擴建主體工程竣工儀式將於今（8日）下午舉行。而2019年反修例風波後因限聚令、擴建進度等原因一直封閉的「煲底」指定示威區，據悉不會同步重新開放，現時是議員的「臨時泊車位」。《信報》引述行管會成員透露，曾在會議討論重開「煲底」方案但遭否決，與會人士認為「今時唔同往日」、「而家仲有咩人示威？就算開返都冇人用」。 立法會綜合大樓擴建工程於2022年展開，主體部分本月初正式完工，下午的竣工儀式有行政長官李家超及政府主要官員出席，以切燒豬及植樹儀式慶祝。
