Tamsui-Taipei Expressway up for consideration – Residents call to stop appeal

Tamsui residents have held a special press conference prior to attending the ‘Tamsui-Taipei Expressway’ land acquisition case, which is up for consideration on July 9. The residents stressed that the case has already seriously affected residency rights for many people in the area, as well as infringing on the mangrove conservation park and land specifically designated for the purpose of farming and livestock rearing.

The appointed lawyer Zhang Yu-Yin (張譽尹) mentioned that though the EIA was rejected at the first hearing, without a clear understanding of the situation New Taipei City seemed bent on appealing - this has raised questions as to whether land interests in the new town were behind the move. Tamsui resident Wang Zhongming (王鍾銘) called on the Ministry of Interior to remain firm and for New Taipei City to refrain from forcing another appeal.

淡北道路審議 居民籲環評別補件再議

淡北道路的土地徵收審議會於七月九日舉行，淡水居民特地在參與會議前舉辦記者會，強調這項徵收案已經嚴重影響居民居住權、紅樹林保育園區以及特定農牧用地，委任律師張譽尹更提及一審判決環評被撤銷，新北市政府在未了解清楚的情況下仍執意上訴，質疑只看中淡海新市鎮背後的土地利益。淡水居民王鍾銘呼籲內政部必須硬起來、新北市別再強行上訴。
