REPRESENTATIVES OF SHOP OPERATORS FROM LAI BO AND LEE BO BUILDINGS IN TUEN MUN, AND THE TUEN MUN DISTRICT (SOUTH AND EAST) COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION TODAY (MONDAY) PRESENTED A SOUVENIR TO THE TUEN MUN DISTRICT OFFICE IN RECOGNITION OF ITS EFFORTS IN HELPING TO SPEED UP CONSTRUCTION WORKS ON THE ROOF COVERING OF A FOOTBRIDGE IN THE IR VICINITY.

THE FOOTBRIDGE, LINKING ON TING ESTATE AND AREA 37B, WAS CLOSED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION WORKS IN OCTOBER LAST YEAR.
