City Revitalisation Projects
Since 2006, the Housing Society has been involved in city revitalisation
projects in various districts. The aim is to improve the environment
and enhance the quality of life of the inhabitants. The Housing Society
has completed projects in the districts of Sham Shui Po, Kwai Tsing,
Tai Po, Tsuen Wan, Sai Kung, Islands, Eastern District and Yuen Long,
injecting vitality into old parts of the districts while maintaining district
characteristics that are unique.
In Tuen Mun, the Housing Society has accepted a Government invitation
to undertake a project for the community which is to build a pedestrian
bridge over the Tuen Mun River. Works however cannot begin since
the tender price, obtained in 2012, was well over the original estimates.
The project had to go back to Government for a review. Meanwhile, by
a re-tendering exercise in September last year, we established that the
quoted price had gone up even further.
Eventually a solution was found by the special effort of the Home Affairs
Department, getting an allocation from the Hong Kong Jockey Club
under a community scheme which requires endorsement from the Chief
Executive’s Office. With the additional funding, we are now pursuing the
project with vigour. Completion of this community project is expected to
be end-2016.
市區活化項目
自二零零六年起，房協在不同的地區參與市
區活化及改善環境的工作，從而提升市民
的生活質素。房協已完成在深水埗、葵青、
大埔、荃灣、西貢、離島、東區及元朗區的
項目，為這些舊區注入活力，同時保留地區
的獨有特色。
在屯門，房協接受了政府的邀請，為該區建
造一條橫跨屯門河的行人橋。但由於二零
一二年取得的標書報價超出預算，工程一直
未能展開。房協將項目交回政府再作檢討，
並於去年九月重新招標，當時工程費用的上
升情況更加嚴重。
在民政事務總署的努力下，這困局終於打
破。我們得到行政長官辦公室的批准，從香
港賽馬會社區計劃中獲取撥款。額外的資金
令工程得以順利進行，並預期於二零一六年
底完成。
