JULY DATE FOR JUNK BAY PUBLIC HOUSING

*****

THE FIRST PUBLIC HOUSING RESIDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO JUNK BAY NEW TOWN IN JULY, AND PEOPLE LIVING IN YAU YUE WAN VILLAGE AND HANG HAU VILLAGE AFFECTED BY THE NEW TOWN DEVELOPMENT WILL HAVE TO MOVE OUT AT THE END OF THIS YEAR, THE SAI KUNG DISTRICT OFFICER, MR KEVIN HO, SAID TODAY (FRIDAY).

THE SAI KUNG DISTRICT LANDS OFF ICE WAS NEGOTIATING WITH THE VILLAGERS TO WROK OUT A SATISFACTORY SOLUTION TO THE MATTER, HE SAID.

SPEAKING AT A SPRING RECEPTION THIS (FRIDAY) AFTERNOON, MR HO REPORTED ON THE MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS IN THE DISTRICT DURING 1986.

+ THE MOST ENCOURAGING NEWS FOR THE YEAR SHOULD BE THE GOVERNMENT'S ANNOUNCEMENT ON THE LOCATION FOR THE TERRITORY'S THIRD UNIVERSITY WHICH WILL BE SITUATED AT THE VACATED BARRACKS AT TAI PO TSAI IN SAI KUNG.

+ALL RESIDENTS IN THE DISTRICT ARE VERY PLEASED TO HEAR

OF THE DECISION MADE BY THE GOVERNMENT, HE SAID.

MR HO ALSO NOTED THAT A PROBLEM IN CHOOSING THE SITE FOR BUILDING THE HANG HAU CENTRAL PRIMARY SCHOOL WAS SOLVED. HE TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY TO THANK THOSE WHO HAD GIVEN HELP IN RESOLVING THE ISSUE.

ACHIEVEMENTS DURING THE YEAR INCLUDED COMPLETION OF WIDENING PO TUNG ROAD NEAR THE TOWN HALL, A NEW BUS TERMINUS NEAR THE WATERFRONT AND A RECLAMATION PROJECT AND SEWAGE TREATMENT SYSTEM

IN TUI MIN HOT.

*THE PAK KONG TREATMENT WORKS WILL ALSO BE COMPLETED AT THE END OF THIS YEAR. I HOPE THAT MOST VILLAGES IN THE DISTRICT WILL RECEIVE FRESH WATER SUPPLY BY THAT TIME, HE ADDED.

AS DEVELOPMENTS WERE IN PROGRESS IN SAI KUNG AND HANG HAU MR HO APPEALED FOR CO-OPERATION FROM AFFECTED VILLAGERS. HE HOPED THAT THEY WOULD BE UNDERSTANDING REGARDING THE INCONVENIENCE THAT INEVITABLY WAS CAUSED.
