Tenants of Pak Tin will also be served by shops, restaurants and
a small commercial complex. They will have easy access to public transport
as buses and public light buses pass through the area.
The whole rehousing operation will be implemented in five stages.
The first phase involves rehousing residents of blocks 23 to 28 of Shek Kip
Mei estate followed by the renovation of the buildings.
Staff of the Resettlement Department Rehousing Unit have written
to the tenants to advise them of the detailed arrangements on how they will
be housed, and will be supplementing this with personal calls on the tenants.
The various government departments, such as Social Welfare, Education,
Labour, Secretariat for Home Affairs and Urban Services, will be available
to help families who may have personal problems arising from the move.
Particular attention is being paid to the needs of handicapped people.
A workshop block is being built nearby for tenants who now operate
workshop trades so that these workshops no longer cause a nuisance to the
domestic tenants. Alternative trading space will be offered to shop tenants.
They will shortly be given details of the reprovisioning arrangements when
the time comes for them to move,
