VILLAGE ACCESS ROAD TO BE EXTENDED

*****

THE GOVERNMENT IS PROPOSING TO EXTEND AN ACCESS ROAD AT SIU HANG VILLAGE IN FANLING TO PROVIDE VEHICULAR ACCESS TO THE HINTERLAND OF THE VILLAGE.

THE WORK INVOLVES CONSTRUCTING A ROAD EXTENSION, A RUN-IN, A PASSING PLACE TOGETHER WITH ASSOCIATED DRAINAGE WORK.

DURING THE CONSTRUCTION PERIOD, TEMPORARY FOOTPATH WIL BE MAINTAINED SO THAT ANY INCONVENIENCE TO THE VILLAGERS WILL BE MINIMISED.

THE PROPOSED EXTENSION WILL BE BUILT ON THE SAME BASIS OF THE EXISTING ACCESS ROAD AT SIU HANG VILLAGE AND MANY OTHER SIMILAR VAN TRACKS IN THE RURAL AREA.

CONSTRUCTION WORK AND SUBSEQUENT MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILITY WILL BE TAKEN UP BY THE NORTH DISTRICT OFFICE.

A PORTION OF A PRIVATE LOT INVOLVING AN AREA OF 216,5 SQUARE METRES OF AGRICULTURAL LAND WILL HAVE TO BE RESUMED FOR THE PROJECT.

A NOTICE ON THE PROPOSED WORK HAS BEEN PUBLISHED IN THE LATEST ISSUE OF THE GOVERNMENT GAZETTE.

WRITTEN OBJECTIONS MUST REACH THE SECRETARY FOR TRANSPORT BY MAY 19.

CLOSURE OF TSUEN WAN ILLEGAL STRUCTURES

X X X X X

THE BUILDING AUTHORITY IS SEEKING CLOSURE OF A NUMBER OF ILLEGAL STRUCTURES AT A LANE NEAR 55 CHUNG ON STREET IN TSUEN WAN SO THAT THEY CAN BE DEMOLISHED.

THIS FOLLOWS THE OWNERS' FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ORDERS ISSUED UNDER THE BUILDINGS ORDINANCE IN FEBRUARY 1985 REQUIRING DEMOLITION OF THE STRUCTURES.

A NOTICE OF INTENTION TO APPLY FOR A CLOSURE ORDER FROM THE TSUEN WAN DISTRICT COURT ON MAY 27 WAS POSTED ON THE STRUCTURES TODAY (MONDAY).

DEMOLITION WORK WILL BE CARRIED OUT IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE CLOSURE ORDER IS OBTAINED.
