TENDERS BEING CALLED FOR RESETTLEMENT SHOPS
The Government is to invite tenders for the renting of some 26
resettlement shops in six estates situated on Hong Kong Island and in Kowloon.
Tenancies will be for a term of three years, renewable for another
three years.
It is the first group of shops to be let by tender since the Resettlement
Department introduced the scheme on an experimental basis last year.
Although part of the shop premises may be used for domestic purposes,
there can be no sub-letting.
Each shop to be let has been designated to a particular trade in order
to provide a balanced shopping centre for the estates.
Successful tenderers will not be allowed, under normal circumstances,
to change their trade and in case of a breach of the lease conditions, the
lease will be terminated.
A spokesman for the Resettlement Department said today: "Anyone can
tender for these shops, but the final decision will rest with the Central
Tender Board,"
A deposit of $500 will be required as a pledge of the bona fide of the
person submitting the tender, but will be refunded if he is unsuccessful.
Anyone who wants further details may call personally at the Resettlement
Department Office, No. 692 Prince Edward Road, San Po Kong Government Offices,
fourth floor, Kowloon.
