\nThe government is expected to complete three neighbourhood renewal programmes in Woodlands by 2019 that involves upgrading a total of 66 blocks and their common areas, according to Sembawang GRC MP Amrin Amin, reported TODAYonline.
\nSome new facilities will also be constructed, and altogether, these would benefit over 4,700 households, he said during the sidelines of a ministerial visit on Sunday (11 June).
\nTwo of these renewal programmes are targeted for completion by September, while the third will be ready by March 2019. Managed by the Housing Board, both focuses on block and precinct improvements, while the third one would benefit around 2,056 families.
\nThe improvements include installation of additional ramps, fitness stations, playgrounds and basketball courts, along with the revamp of existing plazas and sports facilities.
\nFor these three programmes, the Housing and Development Board (HDB) revealed that the government is spending a total of S$16.2 million.
\nEarlier on Sunday morning, Culture, Community and Youth Minister Grace Fu met some residents of Woodlands and checked on the estate\u2019s new look.
\n\u201cI\u2019m very impressed by the upgrading that has been done. It\u2019s not big structures, but little improvements here and there (that) make a lot of sense to the residents.\u201d
\n\u201cThis is a relatively younger estate in the sense that there is a higher proportion of younger children and teenagers. So they\u2019ve put in sporting equipment, facilities that meet the younger people\u2019s needs. I\u2019m very happy to see that improvements \u2026 cater to the needs of the people,\u201d she added.
