Westminster City Council has suspended busking pitches in Leicester Square following a court ruling that deemed the performances a "nuisance". This ban affects both licensed and unlicensed performers and was prompted by a case initiated by Global Radio. Enforcement measures against violators could include fines and equipment seizure. Despite the suspension, Labour councillor Matt Noble emphasized that street performers are not being completely banned in Westminster, noting the council's obligation to adhere to the court's decision while exploring appeal options and a potential overhaul of the licensing system.
Westminster City Council's suspension of busking in Leicester Square is a decisive legal action stemming from a court's ruling on nuisance complaints.
The council will look into appealing the ruling, demonstrating a commitment to reconsidering how they manage busking and street entertainment licensing.
