A spokesman for the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) said yesterday (Feb. 1) that the Lai Wan Market, after an overhaul, is ready to commence operation in phases. The market will start business today (Feb. 2) to let tenants and patrons experience the new environment and facilities of the market.
The Lai Wan Market, an overhaul project under the Market Modernisation Programme, commenced its overhaul works in February last year. With the endeavour of the FEHD and the Architectural Services Department, the works were largely completed and the majority of the stall tenants are ready to start business from tomorrow.
The overhauled Lai Wan Market provides 30 stalls, with all of them successfully let to existing tenants and other eligible persons by way of auctioning in last December. The majority of the stalls will be opened tomorrow and the categories of retail commodities for sale include fish, fresh meat, frozen meat, poultry, fruits, food-related dry or wet goods, and non-food related dry or wet goods. The opening ceremony of the Lai Wan Market will be held on March 1, and more stalls will come into service by that time.
