PRIVATE STREETS TO BE RESUMED FOR REPAIR
*****
TWO PRIVATE STREETS IN NORTH POINT WILL BE RESUMED BY THE END OF THIS MONTH AND REPAIRED, AS PART OF A PILOT SCHEME TO SOLVE PROBLEMS ARISING IN STREETS WHICH ARE ON PRIVATE LAND.
THE LACK OF PROPER MANAGEMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF THESE STREETS HAS GIVEN RISE TO SERIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL AND TRAFFIC PROBLEMS AND POSED SAFETY HAZARDS.
THE STREETS, COMFORT TERRACE AND YUET YUEN STREET, ARE NOW UNDER MULTIPLE SUB-DIVIDED OWNERSHIP AND ARE NOT BEING PROPERLY MAINTAINED.
THE GOVERNMENT WILL REPAIR BOTH STREETS AT A TOTAL COST OF $320 000, AND ENSURE THAT THEY ARE PROPERLY MAINTAINED IN FUTURE FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PUBLIC.
NOTICES OF THE RESUMPTIONS HAVE APPEARED IN THE LATEST ISSUE OF THE GOVERNMENT GAZETTE AND HAVE BEEN POSTED ON SITE.
ANYONE ENTITLED TO COMPENSATION UNDER THE ROADS (WORKS, USE AND COMPENSATION) ORDINANCE SHOULD SUBMIT A CLAIM IN WRITING TO THE SECRETARY FOR LANDS AND WORKS.
RELEVANT PLANS CAN BE SEEN AT THE FOLLOWING LOCATIONS:
* CENTRAL AND WESTERN DISTRICT OFFICE, CENTRAL
ENQUIRY SUB-OFFICE, CENTRAL GOVERNMENT OFFICES, WEST WING, MAIN ENTRANCE LOBBY, HONG KONG;
* DISTRICT LANDS OFFICE, HONG KONG NORTH, 12TH FLOOR,
