Motion by Councillor P Barrett and Bailie C Ahern Buskers Code of Conduct Council notes the increasing levels of concerns expressed by Perth High Street residents and businesses in response to prolonged periods of loud music played by buskers in the city centre. Perth City Centre Councillors have received complaints of anti-social behaviour and disputes between buskers and disturbances over busking pitches and durations. Council notes that Buskers Codes of Conduct have been introduced in Scottish cities including Edinburgh, Glasgow and Dundee. Council instructs officers to prepare a Buskers Code of Conduct for Perth City Centre and to bring a draft code of conduct for approval by Council for consultation with businesses and residents.
