THE market cum hawker centre at Blk 159 Mei Chin Road will be given a facelift from May 1, 2008 till the second quarter of 2009 under the National Environment Agency's Hawker Centres Upgrading Programme (HUP).
The Mei Chin Road centre will have more elderly friendly facilities like lifts, ramps and wider circulation space. The toilets of the centre will also be landscaped and naturally ventilated for a pleasant washroom environment. The centre will also have increased seating capacity and better ventilation.
Meanwhile, most stallholders have chosen to take a break during the upgrading period, and less than 10% of the 106 resuming stallholders are operating at alternative stalls provided by NEA at other hawker centres.
The Agency manages 112 markets/food centres. To date, 62 markets/food centres have been upgraded. Two centres currently undergoing upgrading are located at Blk 335 of Smith Street and Geylang Serai Marke
