NOW, 17 MONTHS LATER, WITH THE WORK NOT HAVING BEEN CARRIED OUT, THE AUTHORITY HAS DECIDED TO SEEK THE HELP OF THE COURTS IN DEALING WITH THE PROBLEM.

THE AUTHORITY TODAY (TUESDAY) POSTED NOTICES ON CONSPICUOUS PARTS OF THE STRUCTURES NOTIFYING OCCUPANTS OF ITS INTENTION.

A SPOKESMAN FOR THE AUTHORITY SAID CLOSURE OF THE STRUCTURES IN ADVANCE OF DEMOLITION WAS NECESSARY SO THAT THERE WOULD BE NO DANGER TO OCCUPANTS OR MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHEN THE WORK WAS BEING CARRIED OUT.

HE SAID THEY WOULD BE DEMOLISHED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE CLOSURE ORDER WAS OBTAINED.
