SINGAPORE - Nine private estates will be upgraded at $20 million under The Ministry of National Development's (MND) Estate Upgrading Programme (EUP).
The selected estates are, Clover Estate, Lentor Estate, Thomson Faber Island Gardens, Toh Tuck Estate, Meng Suan/Springleaf Estates, Happy Gardens, Sea Breeze Garden, Toh Estate, Jalaln Merbok, Jalan Layang-Layang, Jalan Kakatua, Jalan Selating, Jalan Rajawali and Shamah Terrace Estate.
These nine selected estates were developed more than 30 years ago and over 4,800 households will benefit from the improved facilities when the construction is underway in three to four years' time.
The new upgrading works will include footpath lightings and safety railings, covered drains for more footpaths, more barrier free access and improved landscaping and parks.
Before the project is implemented, residents will be able to offer their views and suggestions on the upgrading works during dialogues with their respective neighbourhood committees.
EUP chairman, Dr Mohamad Maliki Osman, said, "This is truly a collaborative effort, with residents taking ownership and playing an active role in deciding what improvements they hope to see in their estates to make the living environment better for all."
