CONSTRUCTION OF MODERNISED LICENSED AREAS IN FULL SWING
20 BEING DEVELOPED OR UNDER PLANNING
living conditions in licensed areas have been greatly improved
since the introduction of the new-style licensed areas with part-built
structures in mid-1974.
To date, more than 11,000 people are living in nine such
licensed areas.
These are Chai Wan II (Extension), Chai Wan IV, Ping Shek,
Kowloon Bay (2nd Village), Kowloon Bay (3rd Village), Homantin, Tai Wai,
Krai Hing and Yau Ma Hom (partly completed).
The Housing Department is currently building six similar licensed
areas to provide accommodation for another 16,300 people.
Two of them, at Yau Ma Hom and Shek Lei in the Tsuen Wan/
Kwai Chung area, will be completed before the end of the year and the
four others, in Ha Kwai Chung, Kowloon Bay, Tin Wan and Aplichau, will
be ready early next year.
Plans are also in hand for building another 13 licensed
areas of this type in the next twelve months.
They will provide homes for an additional 33,700 people.
