Roads, Drainage & Access

Improved access has been a priority, particularly in areas previously affected by flooding and poor connectivity.
  • Upgrading of feeder roads to improve movement within the ward
  • Drainage works reducing waterlogging during rainy seasons
  • Street lighting enhancing safety in residential areas
Better access has supported local businesses and improved emergency response times.

Health, Safety & Community Facilities

Community-focused amenities have strengthened social cohesion and access to essential services.
  • Support for local health facilities and outreach programmes
  • Public spaces improved for community meetings and activities
  • Safety initiatives enhancing neighbourhood security
These investments have brought services closer to residents, particularly women, children, and the elderly.
