SHEK KIP MEI REHOUSING SCHEME
More Shop Tenants Have Applied For Premises At Pak Tán
More shop tenants involved in the first phase of the Shek Kip Mei
Rehousing Scheme have applied for Pak Tin business premises since modifications
to the reprovision arrangements were presented to them last Thursday.
More applications are expected in the next few days.
The modifications included rent rebates for the first two years when
they take up Pak Tin business premises and ex-gratia cash compensation in lieu
of reprovisioning.
Some of these applicants had been successful in taking over other
Shek Kip Mei shops in the same phase to make them eligible for a large shop
in Pak Tin Government Estate.
Commenting on the arrangements, a spokesman for the Resettlement
Department said: "This is certainly a good opportunity for those who wish
to expand the scale of their business."
He pointed out that those shop tenants could now apply for cash
compensation in lieu of business premises. They could still choose to transfer
their Shek Kip Mei shops to other interested tenants to give them additional
footage for larger business premises in Pak Tin under the foot-for-foot
reprovisioning scheme.
The closing date for the shop tenants to apply for reprovisioning
or cash compensation is January 3, 1973.
