HEE WONG TERRACE CLOSURE AUTHORISED

****

THE PERMANENT CLOSURE OF HEE WONG TERRACE IN KENNEDY TOWN HAS BEEN AUTHORISED BY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL AND A NOTICE TO THIS EFFECT IS PUBLISHED IN THE GOVERNMENT GAZETTE TODAY.

THIS IS TO ALLOW FOR THE SITE, WHICH MEASURES 3 300 SQUARE METRES, TO BE GRANTED TO THE HONG KONG HOUSING SOCIETY FOR THEIR URBAN IMPROVEMENT SCHEME.

THE TERRACE, WHICH IS OCCUPIED BY 34 PRE-WAR BUILDINGS AND TWO VACANT SITES, WAS RESUMED IN 1978.

A GOVERNMENT SPOKESMAN SAID THE SITE WAS IDENTIFIED FOR ONE OF THE SOCIETY'S SLUM CLEARANCE PROJECTS AS ALL THE BUILDINGS THERE WERE IN POOR CONDITION AND THE IR REDEVELOPMENT WOULD IMPROVE VASTLY THE LIVING ENVIRONMENT OF THE AREA AND PROVIDE BETTER ACCOMMODATION WITH MODERN FACILITIES AND PROPER MANAGEMENT.
