CAR PARK FOR PICNIC SPOT IN N.T.

An open car and coach park is to be built shortly at the 181⁄2

milestone, Castle Peak Road, New Territories.

It will accommodate 138 private cars and 14 coaches and will also

provide spaces for motorcycles.

A bus-bay has been incorporated into the parking layout.

A spokesman for the Public Works Department said that the beach

at the 181⁄2 milestone, Castle Peak Road and nearby beaches were becoming more and more popular each year.

"The provision of a car park at this location," he said, "will not

only improve parking facilities in the area but also alleviate traffic

congestion along this section of Castle Peak Road during weekends and holidays

in the summer months."

Construction of the car park is expected to begin in March and will

take about six months to complete.
