NEW MARKET FACILITIES AT MONG KOK
********
Work will start next month on a temporary market to accommodate
present stallholders in the Mongkok Market which is to be rebuilt as part
of the Urban Council's programme to provide better market facilities in
urban areas.
The temporary market will occupy a 27,000-square-foot site at
the junction of Mongkok Road and Shanghai Street, and will provide covered
spaces for 87 stalls for the sale of meat, fish,vegetables and poultry.
An office, ice stalls and a scalding room are also envisaged.
In addition, there will be an open hawker bazaar comprising
space for more than 200 sites of standard size for the sale of grocery
and sundry goods. A loading and unloading bay will cater for both the
market place and the hawker bazaar,
next year.
The works are expected to be completed towards the end of March
The reconstruction of Mongkok Market will involve the building
of a two-storey structure to house the existing stallholders and about
100 additional hawkers in the vicinity.
The roof of the building will be used as a playground for children
living in the neighbourhood.
Construction of the building is expected to commence in April
next year for completion in 1975.
