IMPROVEMENTS TO KOWLOON POSTAL SORTING OFFICE
Work will begin soon on expanding and improving the facilities at
the Kowloon Postal Sorting Office in Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui.
The work involves alterations to the main building to cope with
increased parcel traffic and to deal with the problem of rat infestation and
excessive heat.
Costing more than $440,000, the building will be extended to provide
space for the public and a parcel acceptance section.
It is also intended to provide air-conditioning in the sorting office.
In addition, a transformer house will be built and a new 25-foot-wide
run-in will be provided for container vehicles collecting and delivering parcels
to the sorting office.
Since the peak period for outgoing parcels usually occurs between
September and November, construction work has been timed to begin in early
December and to be completed by August next year.
