Senja Road resident thanks Stomp after town council carries out high-pressure cleaning on dirty floors
A Bukit Panjang resident claimed that dirty floors in the common areas of his estate have led to the presence of mosquitoes.
Stomper BW said the floors in the vicinity of Blocks 634A and 634B Senja Road “have not been washed for many years”.
“It’s terrible and there are a lot of mosquitoes when you walk past this area,” he added.
The Stomper shared videos taken on May 13 showing stained floors and stagnant water gathering in certain areas. A photo also showed the lack of lighting near Block 634B Senja Road.
Town council conducts cleaning, will install extra lighting
In response to a Stomp query, Holland-Bukit Panjang Town Council said its conservancy team had carried out high-pressure water jet washing on the affected floor areas.
Its property team also conducted a site inspection with its electrical term contractor to facilitate the installation of additional lighting.
“We have resolved the resident’s concerns,” the town council added.
It added that it would continue monitoring the situation closely and thanked the resident for his feedback.
BW later told Stomp on May 18 that he was satisfied with the resolution.
“The floor is much cleaner now. Good job,” he said.
“I have been giving feedback for years, but did not get any calls back at all. Thank you so much, Stomp.”
While town councils are responsible for the management and maintenance of common property in HDB estates, keeping Singapore clean is a collective responsibility.
