Mr Evan The people to be evicted from the rooftops of 271/281 Sai Yeung Choi Street have been offered temporary accommodation in a transit centre comprising former Army barrack buildings at Shamshuipo, until accommodation in licensed areas becomes available. Licensed area accommodation is not available at present because it was necessary recently to rehouse 1,500 people who had become homeless as a result of large-scale fires. The owner of the
at teart
premises at Yeung Choi Street has however agreed to defer clearance until after the Chinese New Year/and it may be possible to arrange a longer period of deferment in order to reduce the interval between clearance and the time when licensed area accommodation
will be available for the families.
