RESUMPTION OF PROPERTIES FOR URBAN RENEWAL PILOT SCHEME

The ninth batch of resumption notices on land required for the

implementation of the Urban Renewal Pilot Scheme on Hong Kong Island were

served today. The notices affected seven tenanted pre-war buildings at

Nos. 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 Fat Hing Street.

A detailed plan of the lots affected by the resumption notices is on

display at the Western District Office at 205A Des Voeux Road West, the Crown

Lande & Survey Office, 17th floor, Murray Building, and at the Western District

Kai Fong Association premises at Possession Point.

A Compensation Board will be appointed under Section 6 of the Crown

Lands Resumption Ordinance to determine the amount of compensation to be paid

for all interests in the land resumed.

As was the case when properties were previously gazetted for resumption

for Urban Renewal, the domestic occupants of the buildings will be offered

some form of public housing according to suitability and availability when they

are required to move,
