**********************************************************
The Wan Chai Environmental Resource Centre (ERC) will be closed for two weeks from June 5 to 17 (inclusive) for necessary maintenance works, a spokesman for the Environmental Protection Department said today (May 31).
The centre, which has been in service since 1993, is a declared monument located at 221 Queen's Road East, Wan Chai.
"During the two-week maintenance period for the century-old monument, it is necessary to close the centre temporarily to ensure the safety of visitors and staff of the centre," the spokesman said.
During the temporary closure, members of the public can still visit the ERCs in Fanling and Tsuen Wan as well as the Mobile ERC. They are also welcome to call the hotline of the Wan Chai ERC at 2893 2856 for enquiries.
