After years of blogging about this issue I am pleased to see the land at the corner of Shophouse Road is at last being developed into badly needed flats for local people.

It is pleasing that this is now happening as this area has been such a mess for many years now and I have personally spent many an hour clearing the mess up.
I just hope that the building process will be quick and the eyesore will just be a distant memory.
