ANOTHER COOKED-FOOD MARKET READY TO OPEN IN KWUN TONG ***
THE LUNCH PROBLEMS OF WORKERS IN THE KWUN TONG INDUSTRIAL AREA WILL BE EASED WITH THE OPENING OF ANOTHER URBAN COUNCIL COOKED-FOOD MARKET ON WEDNESDAY (MAY 1).
THE PURPOSE-BUILT COOKED-FOOD MARKET IS LOCATED AT TSUN YIP STREET AND IS THE SECOND TO BE OPENED IN THE DISTRICT THIS YEAR. THE FIRST ONE WAS THE KWUN TONG FERRY CONCOURSE COOKED-FOOD MARKET WHICH WENT INTO OPERATION IN JANUARY.
BUILT AT A COST OF $10.4 MILLION, THE TWO-STOREY COOKED-FOOD MARKET ACCOMMODATES 56 STALLS WITH A REST GARDEN ON THE ROOF-TOP.
THIS BRINGS TO FOUR THE NUMBER OF COOKED-FOOD MARKETS PROVIDED BY THE COUNCIL IN KWUN TONG.
A COUNCIL SPOKESMAN SAID THAT AS AN INTERIM MEASURE TO RELIEVE WORKERS' LUNCH PROBLEMS, THE COUNCIL HAD EARLIER ALLOCATED SITES AS COOKED-FOOD BAZAARS TO ENABLE LICENSED COOKED-FOOD HAWKERS TO CARRY OUT THEIR BUSINESS AND ISSUED LICENCES TO FOUR FAST FOOD VEHICLES TO OPERATE AT HOW MING LANE AND TSUN YIP LANE.
+WITH THE COMPLETION OF THE COOKED-FOOD MARKETS, MANY STALL-HOLDERS OPERATING AT THE COOKED-FOOD BAZAARS HAVE BEEN RESITED INTO THESE MARKETS WHICH PROVIDE A BETTER EATING ENVIRONMENT FOR CUSTOMERS, SAID THE SPOKESMAN.
