PUBLIC HOUSING FOR ADDITIONAL 2,500 PEOPLE
About 2,500 people living on three terraces of the Hong Ning
Road licensed area in Kwun Tong will be offered public housing towards
the end of this year when the area will be cleared.
These people are now staying at terraces 4,5 and 6.
Terraces 1 and 2 will continue to be used as a licensed area
and work will be carried out soon to improve the drainage channel there,
Terrace 3 is now vacant.
A Resettlement Department spokesman said there appears to be
no serious risk of landslide or flooding in the area. However as an
added precaution the Public Works Department has recommended that
further detailed investigations of this and other sites should be conducted
to determine their stability more exactly.
