MOST TAI WO HAU TENANTS HAVE APPLIED FOR REHOUSING Adequate Low-Rent Flats Reserved
The Housing Department today (Wednesday) reassured tenants of Tai Wo Hau Estate affected by the rehousing scheme that there is a suitable supply of low-rent flats in various estates for families who may
prefer them.
The assurance was given by Dr. E.G. Pryor, Assistant Director, Redevelopment and Planning in response to an allegation by a small group of youths, claiming to be from Tai Wo Hau Estate, that inadequate arrangements had been made to rehouse low-income tenants from blocks 12
and 13 of the estate.
Dr. Pryor said that tenants have responded favourably to the rehousing scheme and so far 650 families or 80 per cent of the 800 families involved have already voluntarily applied for rehousing. In this respect, applications from tenants who have not yet completed their
forms may be sent in to the estate office.
Meanwhile, processing of the applications from tenants is
proceeding smoothly,
Dr. Pryor added that he had every confidence in the good judgement of the tenants who should be left to make their own decisions.
