WEDNESDAY, COTOBER 15, 1975
WITH REGARD TO PROGRESS MADE ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ESTATE, THE SPOKESMAN SAID THAT WORK WAS NOW MOVING RAPIDLY ON THE LAYOUT PLAN, THE CLEARING OF BORROW AREAS, THE PREPARATION OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS AND OTHER WORK CONNECTED WITH THE PLANNING AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE ESTATE.
INITIALLY, ACCESS TO THE ESTATE WILL BE BY TING KOK ROAD, WHICH WILL BE IMPROVED TO TAKE THE ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC. AT A LATER STAGE ACCESS WILL BE BY A ROAD LEADING ACROSS A NEW RECLAMATION TO THE SOUTH OF THE ESTATE.
THE SPOKESMAN POINTED OUT THAT A NUMBER OF PROJECTS FOR IMPROVING TAI PO ROAD FROM LION ROCK TUNNEL TO TAI PO ARE CURRENTLY UNDER VARIOUS STAGES OF COMPLETION OR PLANNING AND CONSIDERATION, AND EVERY EFFORT WILL BE MADE TO COMPLETE THE WORKS BEFORE ANY SIGNIFICANT VOLUME OF TRAFFIC IS GENERATED BY THE TAI PO INDUSTRIAL ESTATE.
THE SPOKESMAN RECALLED THAT THE GOVERNOR IN HIS ANNUAL SPEECH TO THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL LAST WEEK, SAID HE HOPED THAT THE FIRST STAGE OF THE ESTATE WILL BE COMPLETED BY THE END OF 1977. THE GOVERNOR ADDED THAT INVESTIGATIONS ARE ALSO BEING CARRIED OUT INTO THE POSSIBILITY OF SIMILAR ESTATES NEAR YUEN LONG AND ELSEWHERE IN THE NEW TERRITORIES.
