More green spaces, fewer homes at Gillman Barracks, Maju Forest after public feedback

The government will retain more greenery than originally planned at Sunset Way and Gillman Barracks following public feedback, but that would mean fewer homes for Singaporeans, said Minister of State for National Development Alvin Tan on Friday (Aug 14). Speaking to reporters outside Maju Forest, Mr Tan said the government is "looking to make adjustments" to the current plans for both sites, which were already developed in consultation with nature groups. "Residents and the general public too have asked us to retain more greenery. We will take these suggestions into consideration as we make the adjustments," he said. #singapore #sgnews Subscribe to our channel here: https://cna.asia/youtubesub Visit our website: https://cna.asia Download our app: https://cna.asia/app Get our editors' picks of stories via chat apps: Telegram: https://cna.asia/telegram WhatsApp: https://cna.asia/whatsapp Follow us on these platforms: https://www.facebook.com/channelnewsasia https://www.instagram.com/channelnewsasia https://www.tiktok.com/@channelnewsasia
