NEW MARKET FOR YUEN LONG
Monday, June 11, 1973
A temporary market will be built in Yuen Long to provide better
facilities for residents there.
The market, covering an area of about 20,000 square feet, is
situated between Pau Cheung Street and Sai Tai Street in Yuen Long Town.
Covered accommodation is being provided at the northern end for
81 market stalls, while the existing open hawker bazaar at the other end
facing Pau Cheung Street will be re-arranged to take 236 new hawker stall
sites.
The market will be enclosed by a 6-foot high chain link fence
with 11 entrances.
A single storey management office will also be provided within
the market.
The construction work is expected to commence in mid-July and will
take three months to complete.
