Debated in Parliament on 10 Oct 2016.
Mr Pritam Singh asked the Minister for National Development whether HDB will include the option to reconstruct apron drains and re-screed void decks under block-related works for Town Councils in its Neighbourhood Renewal Programme manual.
Since September 2014, the scope of the Neighbourhood Renewal Programme has been expanded to include additional works, such as repainting and various repair works. The repair works include the reconstruction of apron drains and the re-screeding of void decks. The expanded scope is applicable to projects selected from FY2015 onwards.
HDB had informed all Town Councils of the expanded scope in September 2014.
