ILLEGAL STRUCTURES IN KWUN TONG CLEARED *****

A CLEARANCE OPERATION TO DEMOLISH ILLEGAL STRUCTURES ON THE PAVEMENT OF KWUN TONG ROAD NEAR TUNG YAN STREET WAS CARRIED OUT SMOOTHLY TODAY (TUESDAY).

THE OPERATION WHICH WILL LAST TWO DAYS WILL REMOVE 24 ILLEGAL WORKSHOPS, COOKED FOOD STALLS, STORAGES AND CANTEENS, WHICH HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS OBSTRUCTION TO PEDESTRIANS AND HAVE GENERATED MANY COMPLAINTS FROM LOCAL RESIDENTS.

THE KWUN TONG DISTRICT MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE, AFTER CONSULTING WITH THE DISTRICT BOARD, HAD DECIDED TO REMOVE THE EYESORES AND THREE MONTHS AGO POSTED CROWN LAND NOTICE ON THESE STRUCTURES.
