URA Wan Chai Office Opens during Lunar New Year
The Urban Renewal Authority (URA)'s neighbourhood office in Wan
Chai will remain open during Chinese Lunar New Year to facilitate
owners affected by the Lee Tung Street project, whose properties
are under acquisition by the URA, to return their letter of
acceptance.
The Lee Tung Street project in Wan Chai, affecting 647 property
interests, is the largest one implemented by the URA so far.
Acquisition offers were issued to all the owners on 9 January
2004.
"Since then, the Authority has received a number of enquiries from
owners who wish to speed up the property transaction process as
soon as possible," a spokesman for the URA said.
The URA has therefore decided to open the Wan Chai Neighbourhood
Centre at G/F Yan Yee Court of 28 Wan Chai Road, during the Chinese
New Year between 22 and 25 January 2004, from 9:00 am to 5:00
pm.
URA staff on duty at the neighbourhood centre can also be reached
at 2573 0638 during the period, he added.
