Buskers and noise nuisance
This section provides information and advice on complaining to the Council about the noise from buskers.
It is possible that noise from buskers could cause a statutory nuisance within the provisions of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 - but this is extremely unlikely.
However, buskers can be controlled by Surrey County Council since they effectively 'own' the street and can permit or not permit such activity.
If you would like to make a complaint about this you are advised to contact Surrey County Council. They will need to know exactly where the activity is taking place and when it may be witnessed.
You may, of course complain to this authority for an investigation under the Environmental Protection Act, but please note the comments at the top of this page.
Before you make a formal complaint we strongly recommend you read our guidance notes on making a complaint.
Having read the guidance notes, make your complaint online or make your complaint by letter, telephone or email.
We will need to know exactly where the activity is taking place and when it may be witnessed by our officers. Any other information would be helpful.
