REST GARDEN FOR WONG TAI SIN
Residents in the densely populated areas of Wong Tai Sin and
Chuk Yuen are to have a rest garden early next year.
The garden will be built on a 60,000-square-foot site at the
slopes between Wong Tai Sin and Chuk Yuen and will have paved footpaths,
park benches and flower beds.
There will also be a roller skating rink. All existing trees
within the site will be preserved.
Work on the project, which will cost an estimated $190,000, is
expected to begin by mid-September and will take about three months
to complete.
FURTHER AWARD FOR SOT CHEUNG'S FAMILY
The Criminal Injuries Compensation Board has approved an award
of $13,100 to the surviving family members of Sergeant Cheung Tin-lan who
was killed in yesterday's bank robbery in Sham Shui Po.
The money is being given to his mother, widow and three children.
A social worker from the Social Welfare Department visited the family
this morning to offer other services which the department provides.
The department is also trying to find out whether the bystanders
who were injured in the incident are also entitled to compensation.
