HOUSING BLOCKS FOR TAI HANG TỪNG ESTATE TENANTS
The Housing Authority is to build two more housing blocks
adjoining Tai Hang Tung Estate for rehousing tenants of the old estate.
To prepare the site, a clearance was carried out today by
the Housing Department and about 160 huts in the Kowloon Tsai squatter
area were demolished.
A total of 313 people affected have been rehoused to Kwai Shing
and Lai King Estates and another 120 people offered licensed area sites
on Kowloon Bay reclamation. Nine factories or workshops have been duly
compensated.
The Tai Hang Tung Rehousing project launched in late 1974,
was aimed at giving a greatly improved living environment to the
33,000 tenants of the old estate.
A reception estate with five housing blocks is being built to
take in about 10,000 people from Tai Hang Tung.
Construction of three blocks is already up to third floor
level and site formation for the other two blocks should begin next month.
Residents of Tai Hang Tung Estate will move to the new estate
as soon as the first blocks are completed and demolition of the vacated
blocks will follow immediately afterwards.
All 14 existing Mark I blocks in the estate will be demolished
and replaced by 12-storey blocks of self-contained flats with a private
balcony, kitchen, toilet and shower.
