The clock tower outside Ping Chau Pier was removed due to damage
There is a clock tower outside Ping Chau Pier, which has been in disrepair for a long time. The Housing Society stated that because the clock tower cannot operate properly and debris accumulates, local people and district councilors have repeatedly requested that the clock tower be removed. Moreover, the clock tower has been damaged, and replacement materials and parts may no longer be available. It was purchased on the market, so it was agreed to remove the bell tower. The demolition project is expected to take regarding 8 months, including the 2-month construction period. The demolition costs will be borne by the Housing Society.

The clock tower was part of the 2008 “Peng Chau District Renewal” project, which was jointly implemented by the Housing Society, Islands District Council and Islands District Office. At that time, it was planned to renovate and connect the clock tower to electricity. The removal work involves excavation, removal of the clock tower, cutting off the power supply and removing the distribution box. Once the work is completed, the Housing Society will arrange for the road to be repaired.
