Obstructing common areas could pose significant risks, especially in emergency situations.
SINGAPORE – Admiralty Drive residents have been asked to remove their personal mobility devices and personal mobility aids from the common areas and keep them in their homes.
When The Straits Times visited the area, only a few PMDs and PMAs were seen in the common areas – most having been removed. Meanwhile, another resident, retired accountant Susanna Patrick, 67, said: “It is a good move to remove these devices from common areas. At least, if it catches fire, it can be contained to just the unit.”
The town council also said it has received numerous complaints from residents about PMDs and PMAs blocking the common areas. These complaints often involved concerns about accessibility, especially for those with mobility issues, and general safety hazards, it said.broke out at a void deck. However, after engagement and education on the importance of keeping these areas clear, most residents have complied, the town council said.
