Speakers

Transcript

27 Ms Foo Mee Har asked the Minister for National Development whether the Ministry will consider setting aside special Community Improvement Projects Committee (CIPC) funds to support the construction of bicycle sheds and double-tier bicycle racks to support the increasing number of bicycles in HDB estates.

Mr Lawrence Wong: Currently, Community Improvement Projects Committee (CIPC) funding is allocated to Citizens' Consultative Committees (CCCs), which have the flexibility to decide which projects to prioritise, based on local needs.

Apart from infrastructural and recreational facilities, such as covered walkways, footpaths and playgrounds, CIPC funds may also be used for the provision of bicycle sheds and double-tier bicycle racks.
