The RAF members are now building a concrete podium in front of the
community centre as an open-air theatre-cum-children's playground.
They are also rebuilding a small bridge which was damaged some time
ago. Flt. Lt. Jack Larner of the RAF Kai Tak Station is in charge of the
project and construction work will be completed within the next few months.
The government is building a village-type incinerator to solve the
problem of refuse disposal and keep the island clean.
A micro-wave telephone will also be installed soon to improve
communications between Po Toi and other parts of Hong Kong.
At the same time, the island is becoming more popular with urban
people who flock there during weekends and holidays. On these occasions,
'visitors' always outnumber the local population.
In view of this, the District Office, Islands, is considering the
possibility of extending the present jetty or building a new dual purpose
pier at Tai Wan Bay.
A dual purpose pier will facilitate the landing of ferry passengers
and serve as a breakwater to shelter the fishing fleet from strong winds
and rough seas.
