VOID DECKS FOR POTONG PASIR TOWN COUNCIL

Mr Chiam See Tong asked the Minister for National Development whether the Housing and Development Board will allow the use of void decks at Potong Pasir Estate as a neighbourhood library and a creche by the Potong Pasir Town Council.

Mr S. Dhanabalan: The HDB lets void deck space to organisations approved by Minstry of Community Development which provide non-profit making, welfare and community-oriented services. Examples of such uses are education centres, child care centres and RC centres.

In the case of Potong Pasir Town, HDB will be prepared to allow the Town Council to use void deck space provided the proposals are supported by the Ministry of Community Development and the facilities are operated by the Council itself and not for profit. list - SOME COUNTRIES WITH APPOINTED MPs IN LOWER HOUSES (Cols. 773 - 780)
