The ropeway will provide excellent panoramic views of the harbour area of Kowloon and Hong Kong and the Shatin Valley and will open fine hillside walks.
The Government also plans to improve the existing footpaths linking the upper station of the Lion Rock itself and the neighbouring hillsides and the footpaths to Shatin Valley and Shatin Pass Road.
BUILDINGS IN HOLLYWOOD ROAD DECLARED DANGEROUS
The Building Authority today declared Nos. 243-5 and 247 Hollywood
Road to be in a dangerous condition.
In a statement issued this morning, the Principal Government
Building Surveyor said that these three-storey pre-war buildings had been under observation for some time, and pronounced fractures were now apparent in the brickwork.
Further, the brickwork at the rear of No. 247 is badly deteriorated
and decay is apparent in some of the roof and balcony timbers.
These conditions could precipitate a collapse and accordingly notices of intention to apply for Closure Orders in Victoria District Court at 9.30 a.m. on April 25 were posted today.
