Proprietors of large concerns, such as steel rolling mills have
been advised to negotiate for sites in Junk Bay where private land is available.
The Ngau Tau Kok operators have been aware of the government's
need to recover this land for over two years and permits in the area were cancelled between January and April last year.
Typical of the proprietors who have begun to move out from the area
is a foundry owner who occupied 3,000 square feet of land for which he paid the former Crown Land permitee who had left the area
-
$1,700 a month.
Пe has now been allocated seven Housing Authority factory units, with a total floor area of 1,800 square feet and is changing his trade to plastics as founderies cannot operate in flatted factories.
Another operator, running a workshop turning out wooden furniture and planks, has found himself an alternative site in Yuen Long where he will be able to continue his furniture business.
Other operators have bought land in the New Territories and are seeking permission to use it for industrial purposes.
