Noise disturbances

Nee Soon Town Council has since responded to the issue.

The basketball hoops at the Yishun Nature Park basketball court were sealed off as an enforcement measure due to noise disturbances after 10pm.

The town council said it received feedback from residents regarding noise emanating from the court after 10pm.

The town council said: "We received feedback from residents regarding ongoing noise from the court after 10pm which has caused disturbance to them resting at night."
