Clutter has been obstructing the common spaces of Block 140 Bishan Street 12 for years – and one resident has had enough.
Stomper Arvind shared a report he sent to Bishan-Toa Payoh Town Council on Nov 9, along with photos showing numerous items occupying the corridor and lift lobby.
He wrote: “For many years, we have been receiving complaints from our visitors and family regarding the shared public corridor space. As you can see from the photos, all this mess has been blocking and obstructing the pathway for residents on this level.”
According to Arvind, there is “no moving space available” in the event of medical emergencies where “a stretcher bed has to be moved in to carry out an injured casualty” or should a fire break out and evacuation is required.
“All these pots, plants, wet clothes and old bicycles are fire hazards, blocking the whole corridor and any escape route,” he added.
“Please do something about this to remove everything obstructing and blocking our shared living space.”
After being prompted for an update, the town council informed Arvind on Nov 14 that it had visited the site and issued a “Notice of Irregularities (NOI)”.
