The Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) announced today (March 13) that rental of two market stalls at the FEHD Skylight Market in Tin Shui Wai is open for application starting today.

     A spokesman for the FEHD said, "Located next to Tin Sau Road Park in Tin Shui Wai, the FEHD Skylight Market adopts a new management model, including strengthening the role of the service contractor in managing the market, e.g. formulating market promotion and development strategies, engagement and collaboration with stakeholders, making proposals on the trade mix of the market, with a view to enhancing business vibrancy and meeting the needs of the public. Being the landlord of the Skylight Market, the FEHD is responsible for determining the rental level and signing agreements with tenants, and has engaged a service contractor through open tender to help carry out the daily management and operation of the market. Two market stalls, namely one siu mei lo mei stall and one fruit stall, are open for application from March 13 to 26."

     Applicants should be aged 18 or above and ordinarily reside in Hong Kong. Application forms can be downloaded from the FEHD website (www.fehd.gov.hk) or obtained at the District Environmental Hygiene Offices. The completed application form together with supporting documents shall be delivered at or before 5.45pm on March 26 by fax (2477 5099), email (tswmkt@fehd.gov.hk), in person or by post to the Yuen Long District Environmental Hygiene Office. Applicants can also fill in the online application form and submit the application online. Late applications will not be accepted.

     The priority order of eligible applicants in selecting a market stall for rental will be generated by open computer balloting. The date of ballot is scheduled for April 10. The result will be uploaded onto the FEHD website (www.fehd.gov.hk) on the next day after the computer balloting for checking by the applicants. The FEHD will subsequently issue letters to notify successful applicants of the stall rental arrangements.
