1 January 2007 - William, 26, a bank officer, is a concerned resident who wrote in to STOMP about the "messy state" of Tampines.

This is his email:

I lived in Tampines for 20 yrs and I am worried that Tampines is nolonger the heart-warming Heartland place i used to live in. These pics are taking near the small mac area in btw HDB office towards businterchange & MRT stn. Abt 10 mini shops were set up there sellingitems frm VCDs to TAKA cheapo diamonds to cheap umbrellas.

Sounds 'cool', but problem is the small & cramp lane towards MRT/businterchange is so jam pack that I sometimes have to "queue" up to walkfrm Bus INT to MRT or frm MRT to bus INT.
Another major concern is, those shop owners usually man their shops alone and after they finished their "ta pau" meals, they jus left it there waiting for the next day morning shift cleaners to clear. OMG, wats wrong with my Heartland tampines?

I wish to take this opportunity to get the Town Council awarness to do their part in order to get revive the heart-warming Heartland place that Tampinean used to enjoy. Thk U!

STOMP empathises with you, William!

STOMPer Ryan said he made one phone call and sent two emails to Tampines Town Council about six weeks ago, informing it that this lightning conductor strip has been dislodged and needs to be fixed.He sent an email to STOMP on 16 Nov, expressing disappointment that there was "no action by town council despite feedback".

The STOMPer said the dislodged strip is at the covered walkway of Block 403, Tampines Street 41.

"Nothing has been done to rectify the problem. Tampines Town Council did not even bother to reply or update whether is there any progress. This photo was taken on 16 Nov," he said.

STOMP is contacting Tampines Town Council for comments.

Tampines - 鹅卵石人行道太滑

观点 > 今日观点 2007-11

● 孔德威
　　最近时常下雨，使我想起人行道在雨天的安全问题。
　　在淡滨尼区45街，靠近大牌498K，有一条美丽的行人道。那里有几个斜的横道衔接行人道和车道。每逢下雨，那铺上了彩色鹅卵石的横道，表层变得很滑。我就曾经在那里滑倒了两次。
　　这些美观的人行道，在雨天时对附近居民和路人都非常不安全。万一有人滑倒，跌倒在车道上，有可能被过往的车辆撞伤，甚至对生命造成威胁。
　　我希望有关当局能把这些铺上彩色石子的斜道全部拆除，改建成平坦而便于行走的走道，让居民和残障人士都能使用。
