APARTMENTS NEAR BEATTY SECONDARY SCHOOL (Car parking facilities)

Dr Ho Tat Kin asked the Minister for National Development what parking facilities are being planned for the five new blocks of apartments which are being built next to Beatty Secondary School.

Mr Teh Cheang Wan: Sir, the HDB is building 327 car parking lots and 44 motor- cycle lots for the five new blocks of apartments currently under construction at Lorong 6 Toa Payoh next to Beatty Secondary School. These parking facilities will be completed by the end of this year.

Dr Ho Tat Kin (Boon Teck): Sir, would the Minister please confirm that the parking facilities will be ready when the occupants move in?

Mr Teh Cheang Wan: Sir, it is the usual practice of the HDB to get the facilities ready, including car park facilities, when the residents move in.
