FY2022 TOWN COUNCIL MANAGEMENT REPORT (TCMR) – OPERATIONAL REPORT
The Ministry of National Development (MND) has released the FY2022 TCMR Operational Report covering the period April 2022 to March 2023.

Under the TCMR Operational Report, Town Councils (TCs) are assessed[1] across four operational indicators (Estate Cleanliness, Estate Maintenance, Lift Performance and S&CC Arrears Management), using three colour bands (Green, Amber and Red). The results of the TCs’ FY2022 Corporate Governance indicator will be released under the TCMR Governance Report in December 2023 after MND receives and reviews the TCs’ audited financial statements and their auditor’s reports.
