Edinburgh set for crackdown on 'nuisance busking' after festival 'challenges'

A crackdown on "nuisance busking" in Edinburgh is being considered by the council following "challenges" dealing with excessive noise during this year's summer festivals.

The issue has been mulled over by the local authority for several years but now residents and businesses are to be asked for feedback on which parts of the city should accommodate busking and amplified sound.

And the responses could go on to inform the creation of a bye-law giving the city greater powers to take action on street performers who are too loud.
