Question No. 3
REPLY BY THE SECRETARY FOR HEALTH AND WELFARE TO A QUESTION ASKED BY THE HON LIU LIT-FOR IN THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ON WEDNESDAY, 7 JANUARY 1987
Question:
In view of the proximity of the Kennedy Town Abattoir to residential buildings and the frequent complaints received by the authorities on odour nuisances caused by flue gas emitted from its chimney, will Government inform this Council whether there is any immediate plan to relocate the abattoir so as to reduce the nuisances caused to surrounding residents?
Sir,
There is no plan at present to relocate the
Kennedy Town Abattoir.
2.
However, the flue gas which causes the main .
odour nuisance at the Kennedy Town Abattoir comes from the
by-products plant and the animal cremator within the
abattoir complex. These are ancillary facilities to the
abattoir and could be relocated provided a suitable site
with good road access can be found and provided funds for
the relocation are made available. The Urban Services
Department is actively looking for a suitable site.
