UNION CITY AND BEYOND -- Here's the scoop: Union City officials say that they've gotten 10 complaints in recent weeks from residents who were annoyed by the songs coming from ice cream trucks.
That's a lot of people getting hot under the collar over a cool treat!
The chief of police, Charles Everett, sent a memo around on May 27 in response to the complaints, reminding everyone of town laws stating that: “Music/audio must always be kept at a reasonable level. All music must be shut off no later than two minutes after parking. Music shall not be played after 8:30 p.m.”
Over the years, some towns in New Jersey have passed ordinances to deal with ice cream truck noise. In New York City, residents with complaints are urged to call 311.
