Town councils are responsible for managing the common areas within HDB estates. They are empowered under the Town Councils Act to enact by-laws to regulate the use of common areas, including by-laws that prohibit the excessive placement of objects that may cause obstruction at common corridors.
The town councils conduct regular checks and act on feedback on cluttering at common corridors.
Residents who flout the town councils' by-laws can be fined up to $5,000.
