ACCOMMODATION FOR UNIFORMED STAFF OF IMMIGRATION DEPARTMENT
The uniformed staff of the Immigration Department will have now quarters on Chatham Road, Kowloon, at a site opposite the Hung Hom police
station.
Due to operational reasons, it is necessary to provide quarters
in the urban area to accommodate the disciplined staff of the department.
At present, only a few officers at the outlying posts of Lowu
and Sheung Shui are provided with quarters.
With the completion of the new accommodation, a nucleus of
uniformed staff can be called on quickly and conveniently when sudden needs arise for additional manpower.
To be built on a site of 18,500 square feet, the quarters will
comprise two blocks, one 12 storeys high and the other eight storeys.
Together the two blocks will provide 40 flats, each with two
or three bedrooms,
There will also be parking space for 46 cars.
Work will begin soon on the sub-structure of the buildings,
including site formation, sheet piling and the construction of retaining walls.
The sub-structure is expected to be completed in June next year,
when work on the superstructure will begin.
