The Town Council installed a tap for the garden. This was a saver as the tap kept the garden alive during the months of the dry spell. It also made it easier for the elderly resident gardeners to water the plants in the garden. Gardens by My First Skool won a Gold Award at the Community in Bloom Awards 2014.

The two sta- groundbreaking tions are on the Thomson-East Coast Line and should be ready by 2020.

As to the Mayflower station, Mr Lee said it will become a touch-point for the Kebun Baru neighbourhood. Besides, residents in Ang Mo Kio will benefit from the upgrading of the signalling system of the North-South line. More trains can be added during peak periods when the works are done by 2016, said Mr Lee. Mr Lee said with the Bus Service Enhancement Programme, our bus services will also be improving with 1,000 more buses by 2016.

ith the haze back in Singapore, Wthe Town Council took steps to protect the health and safety of its team of cleaners. On 15 October, Mr Ang Hin Kee, Adviser to Cheng San-Seletar constituency, met with the management of the conservancy company in charge of the cleaners to ensure measures were in place for their protection. Mr Ang observed an anti haze drill for conservancy workers and com- mented that overall readiness was high with few areas left for improvement. If the PSI reaches 100, cleaners need to wear the N95 masks they have been given while they work. And if the PSI reaches 300, they are not to carry out any cleaning outdoors. Their supervisors will also ensure the clean- ers get enough rest, and drink water. Looking after our cleaners www.amktc.org.sg September-October 2014 Our Home 13

Ang Mo Kio Town Council “Based on feedback from residents, we did manage to address a few issues so that my residents will not be too inconvenienced during this period.” – Mr Inderjit Singh Adviser to Kebun Baru

“We have formed a joint committee comprising officials from LTA, pro- ject managers from the construction company and grassroots leaders. Several meetings with residents were held. Explanation on the scope of work, clarifications on the extent of disruptions and assurances over potential issues were highlighted and discussed frankly. This effort will continue to build trust and to collectively solve problems that might surface during the period of the project.” – BG Tung Yui Fai, Organising Chairman, Lentor Station Ground Breaking Ceremony, and resident of Lentor.

“Mayflower station will make a great difference for me. Catching a bus to go to the Ang Mo Kio station takes 20 minutes!” When the station is in operation, it will be a five-minute walk for me. Fifteen minutes saved on every trip to work.” – Ms Shirley Chong

“When we go up to Malaysia now, we take a bus to the MRT, the MRT to Woodlands, then catch a bus across the Causeway. Soon it will be a train all the way.” – Mr Toh Guan Ru

“My son will be able to walk down- stairs from his flat and into the new station. He bought his flat because the station is being built there!” – Mdm Aw Wee You

“Many local residents are getting old. “When they need to go for a check- up, the connectivity of the new line will be a big benefit for them.” – Mr Danny Chng, a social worker
