BIGGER FLATS FOR RESETTLED FAMILES
Reasons Why Many Profer Not To Move
*******
Families living in old rosettlement estates built 12 to 15 years ago
are being offered larger and better accommodation in developing estates.
This year, the Rosettlement Department set aside for this purposo
accommodation for 30,000 pooplo, an increase of 10,000 over previous years, and
notices are postod from time to time in all old estates inviting residents to
apply for the newer type of accommodation.
A "decantation" programme was first bogun in 1961 along with plans to
stop up the construction of more and bettor estates throughout Hong Kong.
In 1965, a special decantation unit was set up within the department,
and residents of all the old estates, such as Shek Kip Mci, Li Cheng Uk and
Wong Tai Sin, living at high densities, were offered bettor accommodation in
now ostates.
In the past three years, more than 9,100 families numbering 60,000 people, have accepted the department's offer of better homes, enabling
about 70,000 residents of old estates to share the additional space made available
by the decantation.
