APPEAL TO TENANTS OF RESETTLEMENT ESTATES
To Boycott Pedlar Hawkera
The Resettlement Department has called on the tenants of Sau Mau
Ping and Yau Tong estates to boycott pedlar hawkers operating outside the
modular markets.
A circulation letter to this effect has recently been sent to all
tenants of the two estates..
A spokesman for the Department said that these hawkers posed a
serious management problem and greatly affected the living environment of
the estates.
"In addition," he added, "they are depriving the rights of the
hawkers in the modular markets who obtained their stalls either by tendering
or balloting."
There are 18 modular markets comprising 457 stalls at Sau Mau Ping
Estate, and two markets comprising 98 stalls at Yau Tong Estate.
Nearly all kinds of daily necessities, including groceries, meat,
poultry and sundry goods are available at these markets.
Release time: 7.30 p.m.
