BETTER ENVIRONMENT FOR OLD PUBLIC HOUSING ESTATES
The Housing Department is continuing its efforts to improve the
environment of the older public housing estates by providing extra amenities.
At Kwai Chung Estate, two concrete Ping Pong tables have been
built in an internal courtyard playground near Block 27.
In addition, two swings and a see-saw as well as a number of benches
have been installed within the estate.
"These added amenities have proved to be very popular to the
children," said Mr. Norman Haw, Estate Manager.
At Chai Wan Estate, flowers and shrubs will shortly be planted by
staff of the Urban Services Department to beautify the area.
