THE

ON THE SHRUNG SHUI PROJECT, MR BLAIR SAID THIS SCHEME WILL BK FIRST PSPS SINCE THE TRANSFER OF THE RESPONSIBILITY FROM GOVERNMENT TO THE HOUSING AUTHORITY SINCE APRIL 1 THIS YEAR FOR THE PRODUCTION OF FLATS UNDER BOTH THE HOS AND PSPS.

IT WILL ALSO BE THE FIRST SCHEME IN FANLING AND SHEUNG SHUI AND WILL AUGMENT THE HOS DEVELOPMENT ALREADY COMPLETED AT SHEK WU HUI.

WHEN COMPLETED BY THE END OF 1989, THE PROJECT WILL COMPRISE SIX 28 OR 29-STOREY TOWER BLOCKS PROVIDING OVER 2 000 FLATS OF TWO AND THREE BEDROOMS .

IT WILL ALSO PROVIDE A COMMERCIAL COMPLEX AND BOTH INDOOR AND OUTDOOR CAR PARKING SPACE.

A KINDERGARTEN AND RECREATION AREAS WILL ALSO BE PROVIDED AND THE EXTERNAL AREAS WILL BE SUITABLY LANDSCAPED.

MR BLAIR ENVISAGED THAT THE VERY STRONG DEMAND FOR FLATS FOR SALE UNDER THE HOS AND PSPS IN THE PAST WOULD NOT ONLY CONTINUE BUT WILL INCREASE.

"TO MEET THIS EXPECTED INCREASED DEMAND, UNDER THE HOUSING AUTHORITY'S LONG TERM HOUSING STRATEGY GREATER EMPHASIS THAN HIGHERTO WILL BE PLACED ON THE PRODUCTION OF FLATS FOR SALE UNDER THESE SCHEMES.

"WITH THE Level OF DEMAND RUNNING AS STRONGLY AS IT IS, COUPLED WITH THE IMPROVED ROAD AND RAIL SYSTEMS NOW SERVING THIS AREA OF THE NORTHERN NEW TERRITORIES, THERE IS EVERY REASON TO BELIEVE THAT THIS SHEUNG SHUI SCHEMB WILL BE MOST SUCCESSFUL WHEN IT ON THE MARKET,' MR BLAIR ADDED.
