Hougang resident concerned over bicycle bay turning into 'storage place'
A concerned resident has raised the issue of a bicycle parking area at Block 117 Hougang Avenue 1 being used as a "storage place".
Stomper John shared photos of the area cluttered with various items, including styrofoam boxes, plastic bags, buckets, and other personal belongings stacked around a couple of bicycles.
In response to a Stomp query, the Aljunied-Hougang Town Council said they regularly remove derelict and abandoned bicycles from void deck bicycle racks.
"During the last such removal exercise, we noted that some items were mounted on bicycles or placed next to them," the town council's spokesperson said.
"Before removing these items, considering the possibility that some of these items may constitute part of the owners' livelihood, we took the step of first identifying and engaging the owners, and giving them a grace period to find an alternative space to store their items."
The town council said it will remove the items if the owners do not do so themselves before the grace period expires.
