PROPOSED PROJECT TO IMPROVE ROADS
***
THE GOVERNMENT IS PROPOSING TO CARRY OUT A PROJECT TO UPGRADE THE ROADS AND DRAINAGE OF TONG YAN SAN TSUEN NEAR YUEN LONG TO IMPROVE THE ENVIRONMENT OF THE AREA.
OVER THE YEARS, TONG YAN SAN TSUEN HAS DEVELOPED IN AN UNPLANNED MANNER. ITS INTERNAL ROADS ARE NARROW AND SUBSTANDARD, WITH LITTLE PROVISION FOR PEDESTRIANS AND NO PROPER DRAINAGE SYSTEM,
UNDER THE PROPOSAL, THE GOVERNMENT WILL PROVIDE A NEW, WELL- DESIGNED INTERNAL ROAD AND FOOTPATH SCHEME, TOGETHER WITH A NEW SURFACE AND DRAINAGE SYSTEM.
THE PROPOSED WORKS WILL INVOLVE THE ALTERATION AND CLOSURE OF MANY OF THE EXISTING ROADS.
A PLAN SHOWING THE AFFECTED ROADS MAY BE INSPECTED AT THE CENTRAL ENQUIRY SUB-OFFICE OF CENTRAL AND WESTERN DISTRICT, CENTRAL GOVERNMENT OFFICES (WEST WING), HONG KONG; AND THE DISTRICT LANDS OFFICE (YUEN LONG), CASTLE PEAK ROAD.
ANY CLAIMS FOR COMPENSATION SHOULD REACH THE SECRETARY FOR LANDS AND WORKS BEFORE SEPTEMBER 14, 1984.
