The ground floor of the three-storey block will be an assembly/
gymnasium hall. The first and second floors will be linked with the third
and fourth floors of the adjacent office block by a bridge to provide better
mutual access. These floors will be taken up by the Police/Military Control.
It is envisaged that the four-storey block will serve as barracks,
The ground floor will be used as a parking area for police vehicles.
The new headquarters will also have a helicopter landing pad
in the spacious compound.
Work on the construction of Stage One is expected to be completed
by October next year.

MORE RECREATIONAL SPACE IN K.G.V. MEMORIAL PARK
Residents of the densely populated area of Sai Ying Pun will have
more recreational space next spring.
This will be made possible when a 6,500-square-foot site at the

a sitting-out area, with chess tables, flower beds and trees.
Work on the project, costing about $157,000, is expected to begin
in Octobor and will take about five months to complete.
