NEW AMBULANCE DEPOT
A new ambulance depot will soon be built at Smithfield Road to
Beet the increasing demand for ambulance service in the Pokfulam and
Mid-Level areas.
Work on the project, which will cost about $3 million, is scheduled
to start towards the end of this year and will take about 12 months to
complete.
The depot will be 10 storeys high with accommodation for four
to six ambulances on the ground floor. Offices and barrack quarters
will be housed on the mezzanine and first floors.
The first floor will also contain recreational and dining facilities
as well as a rest room for officers on stand-by duty.
Quarters for married officers will occupy the second and third
floors while those for the rank and file will be located on the upper
six floors.
The depot will be suitably equipped to cope with the rising
demands for ambulances in the crowded Pokfulam and Mid-Level districts.
