+OUR PLAN IS TO EXPAND THIS SERVICE NEXT YEAR BY STEPPING UP CUR EFFORTS IN ALL DIRECTIONS, NAMELY, IN OUR FAMILY SERVICE, IN THE YOUTH AND COMMUNITY CENTRES AS WELL AS INVOLVING VOLUNTARY AGENCIES AND LOCAL GROUPS IN LAUNCHING JOINT PROJECTS AND CAMPAIGNS ON FAMILY LIFE EDUCATION AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL SO THAT THE IMPACT IS REALLY FELT AND THE MESSAGE EFFECTIVELY GOT ACROSS, + HE SAID.
IN THE VOLUNTARY SECTOR, MR. LEE SAID, THERE WERE NOW 11 AGENCIES PROVIDING THE SERVICE ON VARYING SCALES. PROPOSALS HAD BEEN MADE TO EXPAND THEIR SERVICE NEXT YEAR.
MR. LEE WAS CONFIDENT THAT GREATER SUCCESS COULD BE ACHIEVED IF ALL WORKED TOGETHER TOWARDS THE SAME GOAL.
FOOTER IDGES FOR CASTLE PEAK ROAD
X X X X X
A NUMBER OF FOOTBRIDGES WILL BE BUILT ALONG CASTLE PEAK ROAD FROM KWAI CHUNG TO TSUEN WAN TO EASE TRAFFIC CONGESTION AND PROVIDE SAFER CROSSING FOR PEDESTRIANS.
WORK IS TO START SOON ON THE FIRST BRIDGE - AT A COST
OF $850,000 - AT THE CHUNG ON STREET INTERSECTION.
THE PROJECT INVOLVES THE RESUMPTION OF 1,872 SQUARE FEET OF AGRICULTURAL LAND, AND ONE MONTH'S NOTICE OF THE RESUMPTION WAS PUBLISHED IN TODAY'S GOVERNMENT GAZETTE.
A NEW TERRITORIES ADMINISTRATION SPOKESMAN SAID TODAY THAT ONLY TWO SMALL DOMESTIC STRUCTURES WILL BE INVOLVED IN CLEARANCE AND THE SIX PEOPLE AFFECTED HAVE BEEN OFFERED ACCOMMODATION IN A LICENSED AREA IN TSUEN WAN.
THE GOVERNMENT WILL ALSO PAY COMPENSATION FOR SOME TREES, BOUNDARY WALL, FENCES, A GATE AND +PA1 LAU.+
THE SPOKESMAN SAID THAT THE FOOTBRIDGES, TO BE BUILT BY THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT, SHOULD HELP TRAFFIC FLOW ALONG THE CASTLE PEAK ROAD.
+ THE CHUNG ON STREET FOOTBRIDGE WILL ALSO BE OF GREAT BENEFIT TO CHILDREN ATTENDING SEVERAL SCHOOLS IN THE AREA, HE SAID.
+AND IT WILL, OF COURSE, CUT DOWN THE RISK OF ACCIDENTS
GENERALLY.+
THE NEW FOOTBRIDGE IS EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETED IN 10 MONTHS,
