Mrs Lim Hwee Hua asked the Minister for National Development what other measures his Ministry plans to introduce to alleviate the vehicle-parking problems at Serangoon North.

Mr Lim Hng Kiang: There are 9 HDB car parks comprising 2,492 car lots in Serangoon North Avenues 1 and 2 estate. The overall season parking occupancy rate is about 96%. Hence, there are sufficient parking lots to meet the parking needs of the residents.

However, there is a localised shortage in car park SE11 serving the Neighbourhood Centre. To alleviate the parking situation, HDB will construct a multi-storey car park (MSCP) with about 48 lorry lots and 289 car lots at the vacant site next to Blk 151 Serangoon North Ave 2. The MSCP is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 1999.
