LIVING CONDITIONS TO BE IMPROVED AT TUNG TAU ESTATE
The Government is to spend $1 million to improve the environment of
Tung Tau Resettlement Estate in Kowloon..
The project, to be carried out in stages, aims at improving the
living conditions of the tenants there.
The "face-lift" will include the conversion of all the ground floor
open channels into underground drains and the repainting of the estate's 23 blocks.
To enable the conversion of the open channels into underground drains,
shop tenants will be required to remove the enclosures at the back of their
shops. Not only are these enclosures illegal, but they have also, in many cases,
become receptacles for refuse thrown from upper floors.
After the conversion, shop tenants will be permitted to re-erect
enclosures according to Rosettlement Department specifications.
The new underground drains will be of particular benefit to tenants
of ground floor premises who, at present, have to cross the open drains to enter
or leave their shops.
In addition to this work, another major effort will be made to improve
the estate's environment by demolishing all illegal structures, such as flower-pot
racks on the communal open
lconies.
