REDEVELOPMENT OF TAI WO HAU ESTATE
Tai Wo Hau Estate in Tsuen Wan which houses 42,000 people is to
be redeveloped, the Housing Authority announced today (Sunday).
The redevelopment scheme will be carried out in stages by the
Housing Department with the first phase commencing next month.
It will involve the rehousing of 4,258 people or 803 families of
Blocks 12 and 13.
These tenants will be offered new flats in the Tsuen Wan Kwai
Chung district, as most of them have strong socio-economic ties with the
area.
A spokesman for the Housing Department stated that the individual
circumstances of the affected families will be investigated carefully in
making arrangements for the rehousing of tenants. Also, a special committee
will be set up to consider applications for financial assistance for removal
and redecoration expenses in respect of tenants who are in genuine need of
such help."
As details of the scheme are still being finalised, the Housing
Department will be informing tenants officially by letter in mid-June.
The Tai Wo Hau Redevelopment project will follow an aproach similar
to the other projects undertaken by the Housing Authority at Lover Shek Kip
Mei, Tai Hang Tung and Chai Wan West estates.
