Letter - Visitor Parking, Security, etc.

Dear Editor,

I heard there might be some changes to the car park system because of visitor needs. There is already a Visitor Parking area now, and it is quite empty most of the time. Consideration of residents should be first and foremost in any changes, not visitors!

The present arrangement is working well and I do not see the need to change anything just for the sake of changing. It is very frustrating and taxing for residents, especially senior members like myself.

I have stayed in Tiara for more than a decade and I have seen it all. At my age, all I want is to be able to live peacefully without having to undergo unnecessary anxiety such as those created by car park problems. I certainly hope there will be continuity in this aspect.

If I may say so, there are other more pressing issues the Council should look into, one of which is Security. I think this is rather critical in view of break-ins every now and then.

Whilst on this subject, I have always been wondering why a guard is made to sit opposite the Q/18 block practically the whole day, every day. It seems to me to be nonproductive deployment of manpower. Surely it would make more sense for him to patrol the area.

Another issue is our water woes. Not only is the water dirty, we run into water supply problems from time to time. The pumps in Astana seem to be failing too often and we poor residents are at their mercy. Ridiculous as the setup may be, a more satisfactory and enduring solution need to be found.

I realize that it is easier said than done but this is a matter more worthy of attention and action, rather than fiddling around with the car park system that is working well.

To date, I think the Tiara Management Council members have been doing a great job. And I hope that trend will continue.

Thank you so much.
