SQUATTER INDUSTRIAL UNDERTAKINGS
TO MAKE WAY FOR FLYOVER PROJECT Registered Operators Fully Compensated
A multi-million-dollar flyover will be built in the Kwai Chung area
as part of the road network to serve the developing Tsuen Wan new town,
A contract for the building work was awarded last week and construct- ion of the flyover will start in a week and be completed in 18 months.
It will serve to link the seaward side of the new town with Lai King
headland where public housing estates are being built.
To facilitate the work, the Housing Department will have to clear
16 structures in the Ha Kwai Chung Licensed Area for industrial undertakings,
Notices of the impending clearance were put up on the affected
structures in May and again in July and demolition will be carried out on
Friday, September 17.
Three industrial undertaking operators involved have been offered
units in Ha Kwai Chung Factory Estate and 10 others whose trades are not permitted in the Authority's factory estates have been offered ex-gratia allowances totalling nearly $150,000 based on the established rate of $20
per square foot.
The other three operators involved are not eligible for any
compensation.
Two of them used their premises only for storage and the
other operated in an unsurveyed structure, that is to say he had authority
to be there,
