4,000 GET NEW FLATS IN TSUEN WAN
More than 800 families from two licensed areas in Cheung Sha
יי.
Wan will be moving to new Housing Authority flats in Tsuen Wan this month.
These families, totalling nearly 4,000 people, are from Cheung
Sha Wan Area A and C licensed areas. They are being accommodated in
new flats in Lei Muk Shue Estate, where another six blocks have been
completed recently.
"Tenants from these two areas are being moved into public housing
in the normal course of the Authority's turnover programme of licensed
areas, a spokesman for the Housing Department said.

These 800-odd families will be enjoying a complete change
of living environment. Where previously they lived in wooden huts, sharing
communal toilet facilities and obtaining their water supply from public
stand pipes, they will now live in self-contained flats.
The Housing Department is planning to redevelop Area A into a
new style licensed area with part-built structures, metered electricity
and individual water supply. It will house about 1,000 people.
The Area C site will be handed back to Crown Land and Survey Office.
