The Kwun Tong city centre redevelopment project of the URA has been underway for a long time. Recently, after a bailiff and security staff took away one of the shops, some owners stepped onto the roof in an attempt to jump off the building.
The Chief Executive Officer of the URA, Wei Zhicheng, published a blog today (25), saying that he has noticed that some people have misunderstood the government's established procedures for the recovery of structures, and that some criticisms of the URA's relocation plan are also unfair.
He said that the operating environment of these illegal structures in Yue Man Square is not ideal. They will continue to leave behind the arrangements that are not the best for them. It will also delay the redevelopment of Kwun Tong city centre into the final stage of development. "The impact will be tens of thousands. Citizen".
He hopes that the remaining occupiers can accept the allowance and relocation plan.
Wei Zhicheng pointed out that there are still four illegal structure occupiers occupying government land and refusing to move out in the Yuminfang area. Therefore, the URA, in accordance with the court ruling, executed the court's order through the bailiff in accordance with its established procedures in the middle of this month and withdrawn One of the structures and the government land it occupies.
Think that the process of taking back the structure is legal and reasonable
Wei Zhicheng said that this type of structure was built by hawkers in the former Yu Man Fang and did not have any registered title. He emphasized that the URA had formulated special allowances and relocation arrangements from a compassionate point of view when formulating the special relocation plan.
He also pointed out that the URA had already clearly stated to the occupier the allowances, relocation arrangements and deadlines for the relocation of the structure and believed that the process of repossession of the structure was legal and reasonable.
Wei said that the URA has been communicating with structure operators for three years. The full-time staff and the occupiers who have not yet been willing to move out have each conducted more than 20 different forms of contact. They have also conducted mediation meetings with the occupiers upon request. No consensus was reached.
The URA stated that after the bailiff took back the structure, the URA made a list of the properties in the structure and took photos for records.
