MORE PLEASANT ENVIRONMENT AT LICENSED AREAS
1 1 1 1
PEOPLE HAY LOOK FORWARD TO A MORE PLEASANT ENV IRONMENT DURING THEIR TEMPORARY NESIDENCE AT EU LICENSED AREAS IN THE FUTURE.
THE HOUSING DEPARTMENT'S PROPOSAL TO PROVIDE PART-CUILT STRUCTURES FOR FUTURE RESIDENTS OF LICENSED AREAS HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE GOVERMENT AND THE NECESSARY FUNDS HAVE NOW BEEN ALLOCATED.
TENANTS, ON MOVING IN, NEED ONLY PARTITION THEIR ALLOCATED ACCOMMODATION WITHIN THESE STRUCTURES. THEY WILL ALSO ENJOY AN ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AS WELL.
THE HOUSING DEPARTMENT OPERATED A PILOT SCHEME IN YAN OL LAST YEAR WHICH WAS LATER EXTENDED TO HO HAN TIN.
BOTH LOCAL AND OVERSEAS VISITORS WHO HAVE SEEN THESE PART-BUILT STRUCTURES HAVE COMMENTED FAVOURABLY ON THEM.
+THEY ARE MORE PLEASANT AND HABITABLE AND MUCH TIDIER,+ THEY SAID.
BETWEEN AUGUST AND DECENSER THIS YEAR, WORK IS PLANNED TO START ON FOUR NEW LICENSED AREAS IN KOWLOON AND ONE IN THE NEW TERRITORIES WITH PART-CUILT STRUCTURES.
THESE FIVE LICENSED AREAS, THREE IN KOWLOON BAY AND ONE EACH AT PING SHEK AND SHATIN, WILL ACCOMMODATE OVER 20,000 PEOPLE.
+ IT IS PROPOSED THAT PART-BUILT STRUCTURES SHOULD BE PROVIDED FOR MOST OF THE FUTURE LICENSED AREAS,+ A SPOKESMAN FOR THE HOUSING DEPARTMENT SAID.
+HOWEVER, AS SITE FORMATION AND CONSTRUCTION OF SUCH STRUCTURES TAKE FIVE TO SIX MONTHS, AND IF THERE SHOULD BE A SUDDEN DEMAND FOR THIS TYPE OF ACCOMMODATION DUE TO VARJOUS FACTORS, THEY MAY NOT DE PROVIDED AND TENANTS WILL HAVE TO PUT UP THEIR OWN HUTS,+ HE ADDED.
THE FIRST OF THE FIVE NEW LICENSED AREAS, AT PING SHEK, OCCUPIES AN AREA OF OVER 400,000 SQUARE FEET AND CAN ACCOMMODATE SOME 5,500 PEOPLE.
THE THREE SITES AT KOWLOON BAY, TOTALLING OVER 1,000,000 SQUARE FEET, WILL ACCOMMODATE ABOUT 14,000 PEOPLE.
THE SHATIN LICENSED AREA IS THE SMALLEST WITH AN AREA OF ABOUT 54,000 SQUARE FEET. THIS SITE CAN ACCOMMODATE SOME 800 PEOPLE.
