Bukit Merah resident asked if carpark allowed to be 'warehouse' for deliveries, says reply 'doesn't make sense'
Parcels were repeatedly left unattended in the carpark at Block 8C Boon Tiong Road in Bukit Merah, according to a resident.
Stomper James, who reported the matter to Tanjong Pagar Town Council (TPTC) on Nov 17, said no action appeared to have been taken as the parcels continued to be left there daily.
James said in his feedback: "Is the carpark allowed to be a 'warehouse' for a delivery company/person? Been there since 12pm and now still here. Prompt action please."
He told Stomp he later received a reply from TPTC but was dissatisfied with the explanation.
"This reply from TPTC doesn't make sense at all!" he said.
According to James, TPTC informed him that there was no violation if the company responsible for the parcels had purchased a season parking pass from HDB.
Stomp understands that the carpark is not under the town council's purview, but the parcels have been cleared as of Dec 1.
In 2021, selected HDB multi-storey car parks were piloted as courier hubs where courier companies could conduct delivery activities such as parcel unloading and sorting.
The Courier Hub Scheme was formalised in September 2024.
Companies can apply to use parking lots at multi-storey carparks across Singapore to support their delivery activities.
The carparks were selected based on availability of space and feedback received.
Stomp understands that the carpark at Block 8C Boon Tiong Road is not part of the scheme.
