The newly formed Jalan Kayu and Punggol town councils officially began their operations on Aug 1.
The Jalan Kayu Town Council (JKTC) serves more than 29,500 voters in the single-member constituency, while Punggol Town Council serves over 123,500 voters.
In a statement on Aug 1, JKTC unveiled a new logo and website to mark its launch. The website has links to essential services, announcements, contact channels and facility booking systems.
Jalan Kayu and Punggol were the two new town councils formed after the 2025 General Election. The Ministry of National Development (MND) had in May issued an order for 19 town councils, including the two new ones, that were set up at the request of MPs.
JKTC chairman Ng Chee Meng, who won the ward at the May 3 polls against the Workers' Party's Andre Low, said the new website will make estate services easily accessible.
He added that residents can expect uninterrupted services, "thanks to the seamless handover from the Ang Mo Kio Town Council (AMKTC)".
