4,000 GET NEW FLATS IN TSUEN WAN

More than 800 families from two licensed areas in Cheung Sha

יי.

Wan will be moving to new Housing Authority flats in Tsuen Wan this month.

These families, totalling nearly 4,000 people, are from Cheung

Sha Wan Area A and C licensed areas. They are being accommodated in

new flats in Lei Muk Shue Estate, where another six blocks have been

completed recently.

"Tenants from these two areas are being moved into public housing

in the normal course of the Authority's turnover programme of licensed

areas, a spokesman for the Housing Department said.

tr

These 800-odd families will be enjoying a complete change

of living environment. Where previously they lived in wooden huts, sharing

communal toilet facilities and obtaining their water supply from public

stand pipes, they will now live in self-contained flats.

The Housing Department is planning to redevelop Area A into a

new style licensed area with part-built structures, metered electricity

and individual water supply. It will house about 1,000 people.

The Area C site will be handed back to Crown Land and Survey Office.
