Premises closed for residents' safety
A total of 14 residential units on the mezzanine floor of No 1 Wang Fung Terrace, Tai Hang, have been evacuated and will be closed temporarily following the collapse of a portion of slope in the vicinity on Saturday evening, a spokesman for the Buildings Department said today (Monday).
Emergency slope stabilisation works are being carried out and expected to be completed in about two weeks' time.
A notice of intention was posted at the building this (Monday) afternoon informing the residents that a closure order would be applied from the Court on Wednesday morning.
The spokesman said as the slope was still in a unstable situation, the units had to be closed for the residents' safety.
Any enquiry on the closure order can be made to the Buildings Department on 2626 1368.

Trade Department customer group to recruit new members
A recruitment exercise was launched by the Trade Department's Customer Liaison Group (CLG) to bring in new blood in an effort to further enhancing its services to traders.
Letters had been sent today (Monday) to companies registered with the department, encouraging their staff to join CLG for the year 1996-97.
The members the department has in mind to recruit are employees of these companies who are directly responsible for or involved in the process of import and export licenses and/or certificate of origin applications.
The Trade Department is committed to providing traders with efficient, courteous and high quality services.
CLG was set up in 1994 with a view to further enhancing the department's services. It is to serve as an additional channel of communication between the department and its customers and to provide a forum for them to exchange views on the services in a relaxed setting.
