materials to be used. The high quality concrete paver as set out in (a)
above will be used more frequently in the coming year.
(c) HyD paves about 150 000m 2 of footpath each year. The areas of footpath
laid with pavers in 2000/01 and 2001/02 were both 150 000m 2 while the
area paved in 2002/03 was 220 000m 2 .
(d) We have yet to determine the appropriate types of paving materials to be
used in paving the footpaths in 2003/04 for reasons given in reply to (b)
above. As such we are not able to estimate the amount of additional
expenditure for installing more high quality pavers.
