ILLEGAL HAWKER STALLS CLEARED IN NGAI CHI WAN
E
Staff of the Resettlement Department this morning removed about
50 illegal hawker stalls situated on the pavement along Lung Cheung Road
in Ngau Chi Wan to make way for a flyover.
About 40 hawkers trading there have been given an alternative site
in nearby Hammer Hill Bazaar.
All the hawkers removed their wares late last night and when Squatter
Control Staff arrived this morning they found the illegal structures had
already been vacated.
There was no opposition and the operation went off smoothly.
As soon as the demolition work was completed construction gangs
moved in to begin work on the $20 million flyover complex which is connected
with the Kowloon Foothills Corridor.
A government spokesman said work on the flyover project had to
proceed immediately because tenders for the job had already been accepted.
WATER INTERRUPTION IN MID LEVELS
Water supply to certain premises in the midlevela will be turned
off for eight hours beginning from 10 p.m. tomorrow (September 13).
The temporary stoppage will enable the Waterworks Office to connect
fresh water mains.
