In Siu On Court, Tuen Mun, there was a dispute between car owners and the car park management company. Residents were dissatisfied that there was no place to rent. Since the beginning of the year, they have launched a parking strike and parked their vehicles on the road outside the car park to protest.

In recent days, there has been another storm. The shared road leading to Siu On Court and Anding Village is equipped with a car gate. It was damaged and repaired in the middle of last year. The car gate was reopened this month. Regardless of whether a resident vehicle or not, if you are not a parking lot tenant, you need to take an Octopus to enter the gate. If you don’t leave the gate for more than 30 minutes, you will be charged. Some car owners are dissatisfied with charging residents for "passing money" and refuse to take the Octopus outside the gate for two consecutive nights Entered, causing traffic congestion nearby, and riot police were on the scene for a while.

District councillors pointed out that in order for residents to fight for the "freedom of returning to housing enterprises," the Housing Department should coordinate and manage the relevant arrangements.

The source of the Siu On Court parking lot management company changed hands at the end of last year. At the beginning of this year, a parking lot tenant reported that the old management company had defaulted on the deposit (one-month rent), but the new management company ignored it and required the tenant to repay the deposit. .

In addition, some tenants suspected that the new management company had violated the deed of mutual covenant of the building and leased the parking spaces to non-Siu On Court residents, leaving the residents with no space to rent, so they launched a strike action.

After driving into the "Anding Gate" leading to Siu On Court and Anding Village, they parked their vehicles on the private road outside the car park of Siu On Court to protest.

The controversy lasted for more than half a year, and until recently there was another storm.

The section of shared road after passing the "Anding Zha" is jointly owned by the Housing Department and another management company, Minfang, while the "Anding Zha" is managed by the company "Jiabo", a subsidiary of Minfang.

In the middle of this year, the "Anding Gate" was damaged and disabled. By the time the car gate was reopened this month, it was unexpected that the "Jiabo" would flexibly allow vehicles with the Siu On Court Resident Identification Card to enter the gate freely, instead of being a resident or not. If you want to take an Octopus to enter the gate, you will be charged if you fail to exit the gate for more than 30 minutes. Only the tenants of the parking lot of Siu On Garden and Anding Village and the vehicles permitted by the Housing Department can enter for free.

Some car owners were dissatisfied with the practice of charging residents with "passing money" and refused to take a card to enter outside the "Anding Gate" for two consecutive nights starting from Thursday (1st), causing traffic congestion in the vicinity. There was a discussion period between car owners and staff last night. Riot police officers came to the scene to guard and pull up the cordon. The two sides fought to hold it until nearly 11 o'clock in the evening, and the brakes finally let the vehicles into.

District Councillor: Another management company should not restrict residents from returning home

District Councillor Lam Chung-kai said that the purpose of the residents’ actions was to fight for the "right to return to housing enterprises." He pointed out that Siu On Court and On Ting Village are two independent housing estates. Another management company should not set up car gates to restrict residents of Siu On Court from returning. Home.

Lin also pointed out that before the management company of the Siu On Court car park changed hands, because residents were able to successfully rent parking spaces, they could freely pass through the "Anding Gate" as car park tenants, and non-tenant persons would have to pay by Octopus to enter the gate.

At the end of last year, the new management company took over, and some residents had no place to rent. They rebelled. After entering the gate, they parked outside the parking lot of Siu On Garden to protest. At that time, the “Anding Zha” management company “Jiabo” still allowed residents to identify Licensed vehicles can enter the gate freely.

However, the car brake was damaged in the middle of last year. After it was reopened this month, "Jiabo" suddenly cancelled the arrangement, causing dissatisfaction among residents.

Lam Chung-kai believes that the Housing Department is responsible for the incident and will temporarily move a motion in the District Council to request the Housing Department to coordinate and manage the relevant arrangements.

Minfang: Request the Housing Department to provide fair and clear instructions

A spokesperson for Minfang said that the road behind the turnstile is a public management space in the housing estate. The turnstile were damaged and could not be used earlier, and repairs were completed earlier.

For a long time, In addition to the management of Anding parking lot, Anding Car Park Management Company (Jiabo) also has to allow vehicles approved by the Housing Department and Siu On Court Car Park Management Company to enter and exit the gates, such as fire trucks, ambulances, garbage trucks, etc. The parking lot management company of Siu On Court will also provide a list to allow monthly renters of the Siu On Court parking lot to freely enter and exit the gates.

Other users who are not the above must take an Octopus machine to enter the gate, and leave within 30 minutes after entering the gate are exempted from charges.

At 11:45 pm last night (2nd), Jiabai received a notice from the Housing Department to open the brakes to allow vehicles approved by them to enter the brakes.

Jiabo will continue to communicate with the Housing Department and request the Housing Department to provide fair and clear instructions.
