EXPANSION OF WO HOP SHEK CEMETERY
The Wo Hop Shek cemetery in Fanling will have about 6,000 more
urn burial spaces by April next year.
These additional spaces are provided to meet the yearly additional
requirement of some 5,000 burial spaces.
Annual expansion has been carried out since 1966 and the latest
project should begin in July.
Terraces for the 6,000 urns and a 1,100 ft. access road will be
constructed.
The road will have a 20 ft. wide carriageway and the entire plan
involves earth excavation and filling, construction of retaining walls,
drainage works and road surfacing.
The project is estimated to cost $1 million.
WATER CUT IN TO KWA WAN
Water supply to a number of premises in To Kwa Wan will be
interrupted for five hours from 1 a.m. to 6 a、m, on Tuesday (May 22).
The temporary stoppage is to enable Waterworks Office staff to
carry out leakage tests.
The area affected is bounded by Lok Shan Road, Kowloon City Road,
Ma Tau Wei Road, Bailey Street, the seafront, Ngan Hon Street and To Kwa Wan
Road.
