CLEARANCE OPERATION IN KWUN TONG RESETTLEMENT ESTATE
The Resettlement Department today launched a clearance operation in
Kwun Tong Resettlement Estate in which some 600 illegal hawker structures and
scores of illegal shop extensions were demolished.
Apart from causing severe obstruction to tenants, these illegal
structures had made cleansing work difficult and posed serious fire and health
hazards.
As a result of years of misuse, the concrete surfaces on which the
illegal structures stood, had deteriorated to such an extent that they have
to be completely resurfaced.
All hawkers now trading in the clearance zone have been given temporary
sites in a near-by bazaar to continue their trade.
Today's operation is yet another contribution by the Resettlement
Department to the "Keep Hong Kong Clean" Campaign.
