Buskers in London's Leicester Square rallied against a noise abatement notice labeling their performances as a statutory nuisance, which could suspend street music. The Musicians' Union argues that this measure unfairly penalizes artists under an already strict licensing system. Union members and local performers advocate for their positive impact on local tourism and crime reduction. The Westminster City Council is expected to decide on an appeal against this ruling, which would affect all street entertainers in the area, and calls for collaboration between performers and local authorities for a resolution are strong.
Musicians' Union members gathered to protest a noise abatement notice that categorizes their performances as a nuisance, urging the council to appeal the decision.
