Staircase landings - Block 787

We receive a feedback from resident, residing at Block 787, that there are students, strangers loitering and making out at the staircase landings.  Sometimes, at blind corners, there are people hiding round the corner.  Recently, 2 sets of bicycles were stolen as it was being secured at the lift lobby area.

Our RC went for a site visit and have worked with Town Council and resident as follows :

1. Brighten up the blind spot
2. Mirrors at blind spot
3. Periodic patrol by RC members during pre & post school hours

An email from resident after our visit ...

Thank you very much for your prompt attention to the issue that I have bought up through Chua Chu Kang Zone 9 RC. We both neighbour is happy with the light that you have change for us and we shall wait for the mirror for time being. At the same time we shall monitor closely to see whether this loving couple and students still sitting at our staircase.

Once again we shall said a BIG THANK YOU to Vincent and Mr Foo for the help.

We hope that the efforts put in will eradicate the problem.  Should you see anyone making out or causing noise and creating a mess at staircase landings, do not hesitate to call police and give description of the group.

Lift Breakdown at Block 767

On 17 Jan 2012, at about evening, one of the lifts at Block 767 broke down, leaving with only one operational lift.  It was subsequently reported to EMSU (the number can be found at lift lobbies of every level) for their perusal.

On 18 Jan 2012, at about 7.15am, we received a call from an angry resident that both lifts are down and was questioned why the RC was doing nothing about it.  We need to clarify that the RC does not have any means to get the lifts up and about, we will also call EMSU like every resident - and it does not mean, the RC calls, they will respond faster !!

To clarify our role, for this particular incident, we will do a post evaluation with the Town Council about the frequency of lift breakdown, based on the testimony of 2 RC members residing at the same block.  Our RC will based on evidence given by Town Council, offer a suggestion but it is still up to the Town Council discretion to take up the suggestion

Hope it clarifies our role, and please do not scold us ...

Overnight Car Parking at Loading Bay

There was a email sent to us, highlighting that a car was seen parking overnight at loading bay for almost 1 week in a row, and despite being issued a ticket, it did not stop them.  The resident wondered whether are they related to any high ranking official in HDB or even the MP, that the resident is able to park so blatantly.

Our RC have done a check based on the photos given by the resident, and fines were duly paid or appealed being made for some cases.  However, we would like to share that if a resident so chooses to be fined for abusing the lot, our RC cannot do anything much.

We are pleased to inform that after a discussion with HDB to ply the road more frequently, the car is no longer seen there.
