Panel members made the following points and asked the following questions:
Councillor Turner asked who could issue a community protection notice, the officer explained that a Council officer or PCSO could do this.
Councillor Hale commented that a half-way house in dealing with the issue of the amplification of busking is no good and it has to be a yes or no on a ban. He stated that he is a voluntary steward at the Abbey and some of the noise from buskers is atrocious. He explained that this level of noise is unacceptable as some people use the Abbey as a place of refuge and it is totally wrong that individuals can affect the whole Abbey environment.
Councillor Romero stated that she welcomed the actions taken up to now which have been proportionate.
