\nA total of 12,600 households are expected to benefit from the early replacement of 280 lifts at Sembawang, Woodlands and Admiralty, reported Channel NewsAsia.
\nTo be made under the Sembawang Town Council\u2019s Lift Replacement Programme (LRP), the lift upgrade\u2019s $33 million cost will be taken from the town council\u2019s Lift Replacement Fund.
\n\u201cResidents need not pay for the new lifts,\u201d said the town council.

\nWhile lifts are usually replaced every 28 years, the lifts at 135 blocks within the three estates were chosen as they continued to have issues even after repair and maintenance works, said Member of Parliament for Sembawang GRC Amrin Amin.
\nThis comes as these lifts have been in operation for 21 to 24 years.
\n\u201cThis is the most economical way because most of the lifts are above 20 years old. We think with the maintenance issues, we\u2019d like to replace them so that it can be of benefit to residents,\u201d said Amrin.
\nWheelchair-bound residents will find it easier to manoeuvre within the new lifts as they will be more spacious, able to accommodate 10 people. They will also be faster at 90 metres per minute and would adhere to the Building and Construction Authority\u2019s latest safety guidelines on new lift installation.
\nWith the upgrading works starting last month at blocks 677 to 680 in Woodlands Avenue 6, the lift replacement within the three estates is expected to be completed by June 2020.
