CAR AND COACH PARK PLANNED AT CASTLE PEAK ROAD

To Relieve Traffic Congestion

Government plans to build a car and coach park at 181⁄2 milestone,

Castle Peak Road, to ease the difficult traffic conditions experienced on

nearby roads during recent summers.

The public car park will provide space for about 140 cars and 14

coaches and will be built on a site to be resumed.

The 6,119-square-foot site is not under cultivation and no permanent

structures or building land are affected. No one will be made homeless.

Resumption of the land for the car park has been ordered by the

Governor in Council under the Crown Lands Resumption Ordinance and a notice

is published in today's Gazette.

Commenting on this project, a Government spokesman said the proposal

to resume the land for the car park was necessary because the facility was

greatly needed in the area.
