Accompanied by representatives from Bishan East RC and various government agencies, namely HDB, Town Council, Police, LTA and NEA, DPM Wong Kan Seng made visits to 105 homes at Block 138 yesterday evening, 25 March 2010. The purpose of the visit was to gather feedback from residents on any matters relating to their general living environment.
Residents opened their homes and extended a warm welcome to DPM and expressed appreciation for all efforts that have gone into providing a tranquil, well maintained and safe environment in which to live. Several residents also cited the close proximity to amenities and easy access to public transport as contributing factors to the overall pleasant living environment.
Many also applauded the lift upgrading programme which will provide lift access to every floor. Scheduled to commence at the end of the year, it will provide convenience to all residents, and better address difficulties faced by residents and visitors who are wheelchair bound, have mobility problems or are struggling with baby prams.
