A resident at Block 38 Circuit Road has raised safety concerns after spotting two electric bicycles parked outside the lift lobbies on levels 9 and 10 of his block.
The Stomper shared with Stomp his fears that the e-bikes could pose a fire hazard , especially given recent incidents of fires caused by personal mobility devices .The resident said he reported the issue through the OneService app on Nov 18 but no action had been taken.
He also expressed concerns over the fact that the e-bikes were also blocking the escape staircase, which could impede emergency evacuations."Every day I see them outside the lift lobby on the level I'm staying and I feel fear and phobia."If an e-bike explodes in the lift it can cause a lift breakdown and cause inconvenience to many residents."
"As the obstruction of common areas poses significant risks to residents, especially during emergencies, the town council will follow up closely on the matter and continue to carry out engagement and education on the risks and consequences of such obstructions," a town council spokesperson said.
