ADDITIONAL HOUSING BLOCKS FOR VILLAGERS
Two more new housing blocks built on the Sai Kung reclamation
for villagers who will have to move from the High Island Reservoir,
were handed over to the New Territories Administration this morning.
A total of eight blocks is now available. Balloting for
the shops and flats is expected to be held soon.
These eight blocks comprise 288 flats and 72 shops. Each
flat has a floor area of more than 750 square feet, and includes such
facilities as piped water, electricity, proper kitchens, baths and toilets.
An amenity area which includes a basketball pitch, a skating
rink, gardens and rest places is being built in a traffic-free precinct
between the blocks.
The Deputy Commissioner, New Territories, Mr. Ian MacPherson,
and the District Officer, Sai Kung, Mr. Clive Oxley, and some 20 village representatives made a brief tour of the completed blocks after the
handing over ceremony.
