Eighteen town councils will receive a total of $1.8 million to their service and conservancy charges (S&CC) operating grant due to a discrepancy in the distribution of grants over a 14-year period, the Ministry of National Development (MND) said on Monday (Dec 29). The amounts awarded to each town council range from $22,000 to $383,000, and will be disbursed by Jan 31 next year. This one-off adjustment arose from a discrepancy in each year's disbursement computation from financial year 2011 to 2024, which led to a shortfall in the amount of grants distributed to the affected town councils over that period. The shortfall was discovered by the Housing and Development Board during an internal review of the grant computation process, said MND. The grant amount for each financial year is calculated using household data before the start of the year. It is then adjusted to account for changes in the number of households during the year.
