Never enough is the motto of developers. For years the Transport and Planning Departments opposed a second mega tower by Hopewell in Wanchai. Miraculously the objections disappeared allegedly after Gordon Wu helped Donald Tsang secure his bridge to Macau. In 2008, Carrie Lam agreed on down-sizing the tower in return for some adjacent government land. The deal was concluded despite the outcry over traffic impacts on Kennedy Road (congested, narrow and sections with sub-standard or no footpaths) and Queen’s Road (with traffic tailing back to Admiralty Centre on the West, and the Wong Nai Chung Gap Flyover on the east). Now the developer has the balls to apply to the Town Planning Board for some of the bits he lost in the deal with Carrie, including a convention theatre and ballrooms – the type of uses which really mess up traffic.
To say no, send a simple email today to the Town Planning Board ([email protected]) telling them that you object to application A/H5/401. Deadline: 26 August 2014, Tuesday, 11:59pm.
