THE FIRST IMPROVEMENT SCHEME WAS INTRODUCED IN 1984 ΤΟ THE SECTION OF HPP BETWEEN ARGYLE STREET AND NELSON STREET WHEREBY ELECTRICITY WAS SUPPLIED COLLECTIVELY TO THE MUTUAL AID COMMITTEE OF THE STALLS AND CHARGES WERE SHARED AMONG THE USER-STALLS.
BASED ON THE EXPERIENCE OF THE FIRST SECTION, CLP FURTHER ALTERED AND IMPROVED THE SCHEME ΤΟ ALLOW FOR MORE DIRECT AND EFFICIENT DISTRIBUTION OF POWER SUPPLY.
UNDER THE NEW SCHEME, INDIVIDUAL METERS AND SOCKETS ARE INSTALLED IN SEPARATE COMPARTMENTS OF THE 12 BOXES ERECTED ALONG THE PAVEMENTS. THE COMPARTMENTS CAN BE LOCKED UP ΤΟ PREVENT ILLEGAL TAPPING OF ELECTRICITY.
EVERY TWO STALLS ARE ASSIGNED A METER AND THEY WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE POWER CONSUMPTION RECORDED.
AN MUTUAL AID COMMITTEE HAS ALSO BEEN SET UP FOR THIS SECTION TO FACILITATE THE APPLICATION OF POWER SUPPLY AND INSTALLATION OF WIRING WORKS.
HAWKERS WELCOME THIS NEW SCHEME AS IT OFFERS SAFER AND CHEAPER
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.
IN VIEW OF THE SUCCESS OF THE NEW SCHEME, THE DISTRICT OFFICE AND THE DISTRICT BOARD WILL FURTHER RECOMMEND IT TO THE REMAINING TWO SECTIONS OF THE HPP FROM SHANTUNG STREET TO DUNDAS STREET.
AT PRESENT, MUTUAL AID COMMITTEES ARE BEING FORMED IN THESE TWO SECTIONS TO ASSIST IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE IMPROVEMENT SCHEME.
