5. Buskers
It is possible that noise from buskers could cause a statutory nuisance within the provisions of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, however this is extremely unlikely given the usual sporadic nature of busking. However, buskers can be controlled by Surrey County Council since they effectively 'own' the street and can permit or not permit such activity.
Complaints
If you would like to make a complaint about this you are advised to contact Surrey County Council in the first instance. 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. 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.
