SIX upgraded markets and hawker centres will reopen for business in January. They are:- Ang Mo Kio Market in Block 628 Ang Mo Kio Ave 4 Kebun Baru Market and Food Centre in Block 226D Ang Mo Kio Ave 1- Beo Crescent Market- Kukoh 21 Food Centre in Block 1 Jalan Kukoh- Telok Blangah Crescent Market and Food Centre in Block 11 Telok Blangah Crescent - Tanglin Halt Food Centre in Block 1A, 2A & 3A Commonwealth Drive

These markets and hawker centres have undergone a major facelift under the Hawker Centres Upgrading Programme (HUP) by the National Environment Agency (NEA). The upgraded centres will have an improved facade as well as better facilities to meet the patrons' dining and marketing needs. Some common improvement works include upgraded toilet facilities, new tables and chairs, re-tiling, enhanced ventilation, better lightings, better spatial configuration, enhanced fire safety features and improved barrier-free accessibility. All the above centres will reopen on Jan 1, except for the Tanglin Halt Food Centre, which will reopen on Jan 16. Stallholders from these hawker centres will resume business progressively depending on the progress of renovation works of the individual stalls. The NEA currently manages 109 markets/hawker centres. As of Jan 1, 84 centres have been upgraded under HUP. Some markets/hawker centres that are currently undergoing upgrading include Blk 79/79A Circuit Road and Blk 13/14 Haig Road.

Instead of all these unnecessary bells and whistles, they should look at the whole tables clearing, cleaning and dishwashing process to elevate the hygiene of the place. I alwasy dislike having to eat my food in front of the table clearing trolley, with its black trash bag opened and food wastes all over, and the cleaners making a din with their plates when disposing of the remains. Sometimes, the bits splatter onto you. Why can't they have a special place out of sight where these cleaning crew can harbour? Also, the whole system of clearing deserves more attention for improvement. You ever have to wait long long for yr table to be cleared, and how many times you look and can't find them?

But no roof to protect you from December rains to ensure the new renovation will first be visited by rain and thunder instead of citizens and customers.

Steady lah Town Council. Good job.
