Repairs were made to several nullahs, stormwater drains and channels, the most important being to nullahs in Stone Nullah Lane, Park Road, Albany and Sands Streets; to stormwater drains in Kennedy Road opposite the path on the east side of I.L. 2072, Kennedy Road, and in Po Yan Street near the Tung Wah Hospital and to the storm water channel north of No. 154 Barker Road.
