AHPETC HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO RESPECT THE COMPANY’S DECISION TO WITHDRAW. AS THE INCUMBENT CONSERVANCY CONTRACTOR WAS TO CEASE THEIR SERVICES BY END JUNE 2013, TC THEN NEEDED TO QUICKLY MAKE A DECISION TO INVITE COMPANIES TO TENDER; OTHERWISE NO ONE WILL BE CLEARING RUBBISH AND CLEANING LIFTS! THIS IS JUST ONE OF THE MANY CHALLENGES OPPOSITION TC FACES.
To earn more income, many drivers prefer to drive bigger vehicles but are unable to afford the parking charges for private lots and are stuck on the waitlist for public lots. They often have to resort to parking at open air car parks or along the roadside at night. They know they may get a parking summons as a result, but they have no choice but to take the risk. One such summons will cost the family approximately $100. I have residents in Punggol East who are at risk of getting summons on a daily basis.
