From May 21 to 29, residents of the seven fire-affected blocks at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po will be given the chance return once again to their units, in batches, to collect personal belongings, the Government announced today.
Access arrangements will be broadly similar to those previously implemented. On a staggered basis, 10 floors at a time will be opened within each block, starting from the lower floors. Residents will be able to return to their respective units at the time arranged for them.
Residents of Wang Yan House, Wang Sun House and Wang Tai House will be able to return on May 21, 22 and 23. Those of Wang Kin House and Wan Cheong House will be able to return on May 24, 25 and 26. May 27 to 29 are allocated for residents of Wang Tao House and Wang Shing House.
Morning sessions will run from 9am to 1pm, and afternoon sessions from 2.30pm to 6.30pm. Four residents per unit will be able to enter their building at a time. Residents will be able to stay for up to three hours and make multiple trips.
Under the “one social worker per household” arrangement, social workers will notify households of their allocated timeslots, and assist with pre-registration.
On access days, pre-registered individuals will be instructed to proceed to Kwong Fuk Community Hall to check in and collect safety gear before going to their units.
