FLOOD AFFECTED BUILDINGS CLOSED
The Building Authority has obtained closure orders for a total
of eight buildings in the Peak and Mid-Levels districts following the
torrential rains during the weekend.
The buildings affected in the Peak area are: 60 Plantation Road,
62 Plantation Road, 3 Severn Road, and 22 Barker Road. In the Mid-Levels
the buildings are: 21 Po Shan Road, 47 and 51 Conduit Road, and 36
Kotewall Road, blocks one and two.
In each case the closure orders will be removed as soon as it
is practicable and safe to do so.
No. 60 Plantation Road is being closed because the earth around
a large boulder immediately above it has become loose and the boulder
is in danger of slipping down onto the building. The other three buildings
are being closed because of the possibility of further land slips.
All other buildings in this area and in the Mid-Level District
around the Po Shan Road landslip have been inspected and are considered
safe for occupation. However the area will be kept under constant review.
