Neighborhood group poll reveals Estoril Hotel revamp unknown to many

Respondents to a poll conducted by a sub-group under the auspices of the General Union of Neighborhood Association (Kai Fong) have expressed a general acceptance of the government’s plan to revamp the Estoril Hotel, which would undergo at least four years of renovations to be developed into a recreational and art hub for students.
Around 60 percent of those interviewed agreed on the preliminary blueprint while 70 percent supported the idea of turning the entire Tap Seac Square into a youth-based district for arts, culture and leisure.
However, the result showed that only half of those surveyed had been informed of such a plan, which the poll organizer insisted that the government further popularize it in society.
The poll also disclosed that local citizens had mixed opinions on the specific architectural details proposed for the venue as well as on its future functions.
Around 73 percent of the respondents were in favor of building a parking lot at the venue to address the demand in that particular area.
