No hike in S&C fees yet

RESIDENTS, outside of Aljunied and Jurong, can breathe easy for now as most town councils here say they will not be raising their conservancy fees just yet.
Aljunied and Jurong town councils had announced two weeks ago that they would be increasing their service and conservancy fees (S&C) from next month, due to higher operating and maintenance costs.
However, 13 of the 14 remaining town councils here say they won't be raising their fees just yet.The last town council - Hougang - did not respond to queries by press time.
But some did say that rising costs have also made it 'increasingly difficult' for them to stay at status quo.
Aljunied and Jurong town councils had made known to their residents that they would be raising their monthly conservancy charges by between 50cents and $4.50 for Singapore homeowners, depending on the type of flat.
The increase for permanent residents and foreigners will be between $2.80 and $7.50.
Read the full report in Monday's edition of The Straits Times.
