Assoc Prof Jamus Jerome Lim

Assoc Prof Jamus Jerome Lim asked the Minister for National Development whether it is possible to designate certain loading and unloading bays for overnight parking between 10.30 pm and 7.00 am in estates, such as Sengkang and Punggol, where uncovered parking spaces are limited.

Desmond Lee

Loading and unloading bays (LUBs) are intended for loading and unloading activities by residents, maintenance staff and delivery personnel throughout the day. Hence, allowing vehicles to park at LUBs could lead to inconvenience and disamenities to residents.

In the early 2000s, the Housing and Development Board exercised flexibility to allow season parking holders to park overnight from 10.00 pm to 10.00 am at a small number of LUBs, including 14 locations in Sengkang and Punggol, to address localised shortage of parking spaces at that time. There are no plans to extend this arrangement to more LUBs, so as to preserve the limited number of LUB lots for loading and unloading activities.
