The Council is consulting on a draft Street Entertainment Code of Conduct and Policy.  The proposed Code of Conduct and Policy will allow the Council to both better support and regulate street entertainment in the borough generally, and specifically target regulation on areas where problems have arisen. 

It is proposed that Greenwich Town centre is a street entertainment regulated area, under the London Local Authorities Act 2000. There will be a light touch licensing scheme applicable here which means that street entertainment can take place under licence on two designated pitches, with performers required to apply for a licence to perform and keep to the terms and conditions of the licence.

There will also be two smaller regulated area in Woolwich town centre, consisting of Powis Street and Greens End, with two designated pitches. 

We have set out a number of consultation questions (see link above right). Please answer the questions if you would like to submit your views as part of this consultation by 18 January 2022.

These views will be taken into account in the formulation of the final street entertainment code of conduct and policy which will be considered for adoption by the Council at a future date.
