TWO ILLEGAL MULTI-STOREY BUILDINGS IN KOWLOON
Construction Halted By P.W.D.
The Public Works Department took action today to halt the construction
and occupation of two unfinished and unoccupied illegal multi-storey buildings
in Kowloon.
The two buildings are:-
57/59 Tung Tsing Road and
40A Tung Tau Tsuen Road
The buildings are near, but not part of, the Kowloon Walled City.
Commenting on the announcement, a Government spokesman said that
action had been taken under Section 6 of the Crown Land Ordinance 1972. The
buildings are being erected on Crown land and the developers have no entitlement
to the land. Nor have they submitted building plans for approval.
"We hope that by stopping the development of these buildings members
of the public will be protected and developers and landlords will be warned
against erecting and selling illegal property", he said.
