SIX VILLAGE HOUSING BLOCKS READY
Two more new housing blocks built on the Sai Kung reclamation for
the villagers, who will have to move from the area of the High Island Reservoir,
are now ready for occupation. A total of six blocks is now available.
These blocks, which comprise 176 flats and 44 shops are part of perhaps
the most advanced public housing development yet in the New Territories. Each
flat has all modern facilities - piped water, electricity, sewage disposal,
proper kitchens, baths and toilets.
An amenity area which includes a basketball pitch, a skating rink,
gardens and resting places is being built in a traffic-free precinct between
the blocks.
An interesting design feature of the flats is that the ceiling height
of 11 feet is considerably higher than in most of the modern private development.
This coupled with a floor area of over 750 square feet per flat and splendid
views across Port Shelter on one side and to Ma On Shan on the other is likely
to lead to high rental returns for those families who choose to lease some of
their property.
