Dangerous squatter structures closed for public safety
The Buildings Department today (Thursday) applied for a Court Order to close a number of squatter structures on the hillside adjacent to Grantham Hospital in Wong Chuk Hang for public safety.
A total of 76 residents from 33 families are affected by the operation. Those eligible for rehousing have been offered allocations by the Housing Department, while others would be accommodated in transit centres if necessary.
Chief Building Surveyor (Dangerous Buildings) of the Buildings Department. Mr Kwok Yui-chung, said that the structures were built of wooden boards and meta! sheets with no proper foundation. Some of the stilt supports also showed signs of instability.
"The huts are so dilapidated and poorly maintained that they are no longer suitable for occupation.
