THE SPOKESMAN NOTED THAT DESPITE ITS SOMEWHAT DIFFICULT FINANCIAL OUTLOOK, THE URBAN COUNCIL IS STILL MAKING EVERY EFFORT TO MEET THE COMMUNITY'S ASPIRATIONS AS EXPRESSED THROUGH THE DISTRICT BOARDS.
MEANWHILE, HE SAID, SOME 30 OTHER MAJOR AND MINOR WORKS PROJECTS ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION INCLUDING THE TSIM SHA TSUI CULTURAL CENTRE WHICH IS A JOINT GOVERNMENT-UC PROJECT AND FOUR URBAN COUNCIL COMPLEXES AT LOCKHART ROAD, PO ON ROAD, NGAU CHI WAN AND KOWLOON CITY.
DUE TO THE LARGE NUMBER OF PROJECTS WHICH HAVE COME ON STREAM, THE COUNCIL'S TOTAL EXPENDITURE ON CAPITAL WORKS PROJECTS FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS IS EXPECTED TO AMOUNT TO OVER $500 MILLION.
