Reducing Noise and Disruptions Caused by Public Gatherings along HDB Common Corridors

Ms Denise Phua Lay Peng asked the Minister for National Development whether any measures can be taken to reduce the noise and other disruptions caused by members of the public who gather along the common corridors of HDB flats to watch fireworks displays, including those who picnic there during such events.

Mr Chee Hong Tat: Common corridors of Housing and Development Board estates are publicly accessible common spaces maintained by the Town Councils. Town Councils may consider enacting relevant by-laws to address issues of disamenities.
