BETTER ENVIRONMENT FOR OLD PUBLIC HOUSING ESTATES

The Housing Department is continuing its efforts to improve the

environment of the older public housing estates by providing extra amenities.

At Kwai Chung Estate, two concrete Ping Pong tables have been

built in an internal courtyard playground near Block 27.

In addition, two swings and a see-saw as well as a number of benches

have been installed within the estate.

"These added amenities have proved to be very popular to the

children," said Mr. Norman Haw, Estate Manager.

At Chai Wan Estate, flowers and shrubs will shortly be planted by

staff of the Urban Services Department to beautify the area.

WATER CUT

Hill in Kowloon will be turned off for five hours from 1 a.m. on Saturday

Aberdeen Trade School to Aberdeen Dock, including Old Main Street, Wu Nam

Street, u Pak Street, Tung Sing Road, Chengtu Road, Sal On Street, Lok Yeung
