7 Town Council raise charges. Confirmed.

[Confuseous]

A whopping rise in electricity tariffs. More spending on lift maintenance post-upgrading. A spike in cleaning costs with efforts to improve standards and the lot of workers.

These are the key reasons why seven town councils will be raising service and conservancy charges (S&CC) for HDB flats, shops, offices and cooked food stalls for the first time in eight years. The hike, which will be made in two phases in September this year and next, will see HDB flat-dwellers pay between S$1 and S$12 more, depending on the flat type(see table).

The town councils raising the S&CC are Bishan-Toa Payoh, Choa Chu Kang, East Coast, Holland-Bukit Panjang, Tanjong Pagar, Tampines and West Coast. They provide services for around 350,000 flats.

What happened to their surplus from investments? WP wards have their charged reduced. Why can't PAP do it? This country is going down to the dogs.

Good luck to Lim Swee Sway & East Coast GRC. It has a very high chance of falling to WP.

Is Town Council supposed to make profit?
