Global Radio's legal challenge against Westminster council, using Environmental Protection Act legislation, highlights significant concerns about noise levels from buskers in central London.
Councillor commented that despite the licensing system for buskers, a minority still breach the rules, generating thousands of noise complaints from residents and businesses.
Westminster council noted that between April 2021 and May 2023, they received over 5,000 complaints related to noise, with Leicester Square identified as a major problem area.
The Covent Garden Street Performers Association expressed disappointment over proposed changes to busking regulations, indicating a need for more effective measures to address community grievances.
