Notices will be served to the
occupants of these illegal
structures tomorrow (Wednesday) by the two departments concerned to the
effect that they are required to move out by June 1 to make way for the construction of the playground and sitting-out areas.
The occupants of five of the squatter huts are found to have
already been allocated with rooms in resettlement estates. The others
will be offered accommodation in a licensed area if they are genuinely
homeless.
A spokesman for the Urban Services Department to-day said
that anyone found genuinely trading in the old market as a hawker would
be given a site if he or an immediate member of his family has not yet
been allocated one.
Hawker Stalls
Of the owners of the illegal hawker stalls, 29 of them will be
offered sites in the new market. These hawkers have been invited to take
part in a ballot for the allocation of new sites on May 17 at the Hawker Record Office, Si Yee Street, Mongkok.
For those who feel that they are entitled to sites in the new market
but are not given such an offer are asked to go to the Jordan Valley
Resettlement Estate Office on May 18 for an interview. An interview
board jointly set up by representatives of the Resettlement Department, the Urban Services Department and the City District Office, Kwun Tong, will
be there to hear their claims and investigate into these individual cases.
