3. LEUNG Ping & FUNG Lin-tai (Owners of Electrical & Chinese Herb Shops resp.)

(Serial No. 3, para. 7 of Memorandum)

This objection is primarily concerned with the location of the

pedestrian ramp in Kwong Fai Circuit leading to the proposed elevated walkway

and its closeness to the objectors' shops which it is alleged would adversely

affect their business. At a meeting with Mr LEUNG Ping, together with

representatives from DC/TW & PM/TW, it was emphasised that ramps had to be

provided in order to cater for the infirm and disabled, which therefore

precluded the provision of a staircase.

It was also pointed out that the configuration of the ramps was such

as to cause the minimum visual intrusion to shopkeepers and the enhanced

pedestrian circulation in the vicinity of the shop should add to rather than

detract from his present trade. No amendments to the scheme are therefore

proposed.

4.

JCG Finance Co. Ltd.

(Serial No. 4, para. 7 of Memorandum)

In order to undertake the works it will be necessary to remove the

company's advertising sign attached to the G/F and 1/F of their office at 468

Castle Peak Road.

The company have objected to its removal on the basis that this will

adversely affect their business and have accordingly reserved their right to

claim compensation in respect of all costs incurred, including loss of business.

It is intended that any such claims be dealt with in accordance with

Parts III & IV of the Roads (Works, Use and Compensation) Ordinance.
