Of the 803 families comprising 4,258 people involved in the first phase of Tai Wo Hau redevelopment scheme, 700 tenants have registered for rehousing. Of this total 70% have indicated a wish to move to Lai King and Kwai Shing II/III estates. Two hundred
families have asked for rehousing in cheaper rent flats in other
estates.
Dr. Pryor reaffirmed that there is an adequate stook of
flats for such households. So far 169 tenants have been offered
rehousing and a number have already arranged to move.
Meanwhile, construction of the new reception estate for the Tai Hang Tung Redevelopment project is progressing as scheduled. Six multi-storey housing blocks are being built on the former
Tai Hang Sai Cottage area site.
Commenting on the general progress of rehousing operations,
Dr. Pryor said that time and patience are the main ingredients for ensuring the satisfactory rehousing of tenants. He emphasised that great care is taken in establishing a full understanding in an individual basis of the preference of tenants and also of any problems
they may have -
"The success of the Shek Kip Mei Scheme demonstrates this
point", he said.
