Since then they have avoided this by licensing the whole of the City Centre. This in particular to allow the Lord Mayor's Parade to go ahead.

What is the position for buskers now in the City Centre or for any events there, other than those organised by the Council itself?

Can they just go ahead - as Premises Licence entertainment permission is already in place? Or is prior permission from the Council or some form of payment to the Council now required there for busking, carol singing etc?
