Chapter 6 : 18,000 Residents have more reasons to be happy
After going on visits to various neighbourhoods and estates in the city, 3 estates were selected to be part of the rejuvenation project. The upgrading and construction works took 8 months to complete. What we have to say is that we are satisfied with the results and the residents have showed pleasant responses to how their neighbourhoods have turned out to be.
Here are the completed estates:
SIKA AVENUE ESTATE (BEFORE):
Pic A : The Sika Avenue Estate, located in between Sika Avenue (left) and Hybad Avenue (right). The estate was established in the early 80s and were one of the many estates selected for rejuvenation works.
SIKA AVENUE ESTATE(AFTER)
Pic B : Pathways were built through the estate for residents to walk and jog. Flowers and plants were planted on the greens.

WORCHESTER PARK ESTATE (BEFORE)
Pic C : Worchester Park is just next to Sika Estate, and used to be a British Camp in the 1930s till the 1950s, and was left vacant. Likewise it was converted to residential development in the 80s.
WORCHESTER PARK ESTATE (AFTER)
Pic D: Park pathways were built to connect the different blocks together. Trees were planted to provide more greenery and shade.

CLAIRE POINT ESTATE(BEFORE)
Pic E : Claire Point Estate was built in the 1970s and has undergone new residential developments throughout the years. The rejuvenation project will require several old blocks to be torn down(highlighted orange). The residents will be relocated to the new estate nearby.
CLAIRE POINT ESTATE (AFTER)
Pic F : Pathways and recreational facilities were added. Open spaces were also made to be venues for neighbourhood events. Mayor Gabriel Honshau was present during the park's opening ceremony, along with the residents of the estate.
Pic G : An Alternate view of the estate. The pathways connect the different sections of the estate and residents are now able to come together.
These 3 rejuvenation works will benefit approximately 18,000 residents directly and many others in the nearby neighbourhoods. These are just the few of the many projects to improve the residential conditions in Tigeria. Parks@Home 2015 will be a dream of the Tigerians and a step closer to be a green country.
