Latka 1st Gear March 7, 2011 Share March 7, 2011 Calling all Fatimahs, got good business at Serangoon estate for u all. Work harder at this area pls. ST Forum Mar 8, 2011 Act against those who flout season-parking rules THE shortage of parking spaces in Housing Board estates for season-parking ticket holders ('MP suggests 'preferential' HDB parking solution'; last Friday) is a problem that affects the everyday lives of residents, and the HDB should review the issue. The carpark design at my Serangoon HDB estate is horribly flawed, with limited parking spaces for flats farther away from the main carpark. Residents have to share these few parking spaces with drivers using hourly parking. In addition to building additional parking spaces, there needs to be stricter enforcement of season-parking regulations. Many inconsiderate drivers who do not hold season-parking tickets use such spaces. There are times when I have to park nine blocks away, where the only available parking spaces are. These drivers are often not penalised and this encourages them to repeat the act. Boey Oi Lin (Ms) ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agalvilaku 2nd Gear March 7, 2011 Share March 7, 2011 I frequently travel to Searangoon Ave 4. whenever i reach there, i wouldn't get a parking lot, but, for me it is vice versa, i.e i will only see one or two season parking lot free and the other lots are taken. But, so far, never parked in season parking lot and wait until i get a general lot to park. HDB has to do something to improve the parking facilities in those areas.

Si4dr 6th Gear March 8, 2011 Share March 8, 2011 There is something wrong on HDB issuing season parking tickets. I kena summoned in my own block although I am season parking holder(pay by GIRO somemore). Reason: Parking other than inside parking lot(something like that) issued at 03:45am My block car park are always full & a lot of season parking holder had to park "illegally". And my block not even have any market/shopping center nearby. Nearby block car park also facing same problem. I am considering shoot a letter to them :angry: Any bro good at that please send me a template Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main purpose of writing to you is to highlight the issues we, season parking disc holders, faced at the said carpark, at XXX Ave XX. As a law abiding resident at XXX for close to 10 years, I had a valid season parking disc and paid my monthly parking fee through GIRO timely. However, to my great disappointment, I am not entitled a parking lot whenever I returned late at night over the years, and situation seems to get worst in the recent years (NOT months).

SimonTan 2nd Gear March 8, 2011 Share March 8, 2011 How can the HDB over sell the carpark? Its wrong to do that for the red lots. Some season parking tickets is valid for two parking locations, perhaps its just a matter of people lazy to park at the far away location? If what Carbon said is true, then HDB ought to be shot for over selling the season parking! I would be pissed to come home to find insufficient lot for my car.

My place has ~300 parking lots, but during the time when I faced the problems and put up the compliant, up to 60++ cars were left without a valid parking lot, and have to park on double yellow lines, handicap lots and other "No Parking" area... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ichibawa 5th Gear March 8, 2011 Share March 8, 2011 All Fatimahs can also go to Bedok South Ave 3 after Bedok South Road junction at Block 168 as there are always vehicles parking illegally at the side of the road to grab a bite causing a nuisance to other road users.

There are at least 4-5 car parked "illegally" in my block & nearby blocks(3 car parks) when I decided to do a survey this morning at 8am. Could be more cos some may already left for work.

Carbon82 Moderator March 8, 2011 Share March 8, 2011 Thank you very much bro. My follow up with HDB... Good day XXX. I have yet to hear from you almost a week after sending out the last email, and during this period of time, I had received a reminder letter to pay the fine for one of the PON I mentioned earlier. May I know what is going on over at your office? Isn 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon82 Moderator March 8, 2011 Share March 8, 2011 Just send an appeal letter & it will be waived. Similar to mine, I parked at double yellow line as no lots available at my block and surrounding lots Why should we put up an appeal for something which is not of our problem?? And have you take a good look at the letter from HDB when they finally wavied your PON?? HDB will EXERCISE LENIENCY in this instance to cancel the parking offence notices (as in paragraph 4), it seems to be pointing that we are at fault, which in actual fact, we are NOT!! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latka 1st Gear March 8, 2011 Author Share March 8, 2011 (edited) Since most car parks there are already automated, they shud program the system in such a way that come 7pm, the barrier wl not be raised for those who do not have season parking until 7am. This is done for the system at Compassvale, near Buangkok MRT. Edited March 8, 2011 by Latka Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is done for the system at Compassvale, near Buangkok MRT. That one cannot la. If got car behind how u zhao? Ram barrier? Btw, it's not about Carparks oversold. My house is undersold yet it is still full when u want to buy. It's more of those who don't have season parking and come back late leave early that's taking the chances. What I suggest is to go back to that green season parking ticket. That way, can take photo of offenders and send to hdb. With the season ticket and current carpark. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
