Tighter checks on carpark wardens promised by HDB

[Evillusion]

that one not a problem since most season lots have a timing 7am to 7pm for public parking only.

unless you work from home, else come back from work sure should have plenty of space to park

 

then hor, I also notice many like to park near to the lift.

so no matter how high they park, can take lift up down no need to walk

Woodlands Blk 500 pruss the gangway is from the carpark 5th level to the adjoining block 5the level!

The New Paper

SINGAPORE - When you do not use the right amount of parking coupons and find that you have not been fined, do not thank your lucky stars.

 

Thank the parking wardens.

 

The Auditor-General's Office (AGO) found that patrolling officers for both the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) and the HDB were not performing all their scheduled patrols.

 

Both hire third-party service providers. In HDB's case, there was no record of patrols being carried out for 664 of 7,086 scheduled patrols.

 

The AGO conducted surprise checks at 88 carparks under HDB.

 

It found that there were five instances where patrolling officers pretended to have patrolled sites without actually having done so.

 

They keyed in the carpark numbers for sites that they were required to patrol, without being present at the sites.

 

There were also instances where patrolling officers did not check all vehicles in the carparks like they were supposed to.

 

The report stated that HDB had six carpark enforcement contracts totalling $37.24 million.

 

It also revealed that URA's surprise field audits on the contractor showed high absenteeism rates.

 

Patrolling officers were absent from scheduled patrols at an alarmingly high rate of 70 to 80 per cent, since 2010.

 

Despite this, URA extended their contract with the service provider twice, from August 2011 to last January, at a cost of $4.90 million.

 

Drivers are happy

 

Response from drivers was, understandably, tongue-in-cheek.

 

Property agent Ricky Ko, 31, who gets two parking summons on average each month, said: "This news is good for us drivers. I'm happy because if they don't patrol, that means there's less chance of getting summons, and us drivers don't have to worry so much."

 

A spokesman for HDB said: "...We will further strengthen the monitoring mechanism for our service providers' (SP) performance standards.

 

"In addition, we will take action to impose liquidated damages on the SPs for their lack of compliance..."

 

He said HDB will also be introducing electronic parking system at more carparks to minimise the need for manual checks.

 

A spokesman for URA said some of the absenteeism could be attributed to patrolling officers being delayed because they were engaged with motorists or had strayed to other carparks under their charge.

 

He said:"...Patrolling officers were usually not 'absent' from the job per se, but rather did not turn up punctually at their assigned carparks..."

 

He added that the Electronic Handy Terminal System - the hand-held terminal used to issue fines - will be programmed to alert patrolling officers to prevent them from accidentally straying to other carparks.

 

URA will also introduce electronic parking at more carparks.

If you want to report those people who steal water, you should call up the town council hotline.

[Wyfitms]

Nowadays URA employ those China babes ... quite a looker. Maciam race queen type.

 

NPNT bro

[Solar]

Yesterday super unlucky.

Parked my car at the washing bay after work and went up to change and bring down the pails.

 

All in all about 15 min.

Come back tio abang summon. Seems like he didn't wait and issued immediately.

 

Tried to explain to the abang but he told me call HDB to appeal.

 

Anyone has success appealing? If not $50 gone for nothing. No mood to wash..
