The decision to clear all old licensed areas where no
proper electricity and housewater supply was available was announced
by Mr. Ian Lightbody, Secretary for Housing, in the Legislative Council
nine months ago.
Mr. Lightbody told the Council that he hoped to clear all
old licensed areas within the year.
This scheme is now nearing completion and the last 1,000
residents of the two remaining old areas will have the chance of
moving into public housing in the next month or two.
