An investigation was carried out in collaboration with the Government Chemist into the occurrence of methane in wells in Kwun Tong as a result of which certain safety precautions were recommended.
PLANNING
5.04. Plans for the formation of the following six sites for resettlement or low-cost housing estates were prepared in close collaboration with the Architectural Office: Ngau Tau Kok, So Mo Ping and Ham Tin, all at Kwun Tong, two sites in Kwai Chung North and one at Aberdeen. Formation contracts were let for the first two. Complete reports and plans were prepared for the development of area No. 3 on Lung Cheung Road, Ho Man Tin and the first stage of the development of Castle Peak. Preliminary reports were prepared for the development of area No. 1 on Lung Cheung Road, Sam Ka Tsuen and Tsing Yi. A report on the Lai Chi Kok/O Pui Shan area recommended that it should be abandoned except for certain very limited areas. Two road projects were planned, the Sha Tin/Siu Lek Yuen Road and the Tai Po Road/Castle Peak Road link. The total area of land covered by these reports is rather more than 600 acres, not including the associated reclamation.
