94 per cent of eligible residents in Yishun have voted strongly in favour of upgrading in the first Home Improvement Programme (HIP) polling exercise.
The HIP is a new upgrading programme for ageing flats, and comprises two components.
Essential Improvements are works that have to be carried out for public health, safety or technical reasons.
This includes the repair of spalling concrete and replacement of waste pipes.
Optional Improvements are items residents want, such as toilet upgrading and the replacement of doors.
The HIP works are expected to start in the fourth quarter of 2008 and be completed by the first quarter of 2010.
