On 3rd April 2009, a Kim Keat resident named Kelly Lek wrote in to Straits Times Forum complaining about the rubbish not being cleared in the open areas around the driving range along Kim Keat Avenue. She wrote that the rubbish is sometimes not cleared for weeks despite having contacted Bishan-Toa Payoh Town Council several times. (read letter here)
Is Kim Keat really as dirty as depicted in her letter? We sent a team down on the evening of the same day and discovered that there is some truth in the letter. Bags of rubbish were found lying along the road. The void decks of some blocks looked as if they have not been cleansed for months. Rubbish were found all over the place. The drains were filled with stagnant water - a perfect breeding ground for the anopheles mosquito.
We spoke to the residents there and most of them agreed with Ms Kelly Lek - that the estate is unkempt, dirty and poorly maintained. (we will publish a video interview as well as results of our survey tomorrow)
What has the Town Council been doing? Should residents still pay their conservancy fees on time if they are not getting their side of the bargain?
