What do you think of a council rule limiting the number of times a busker can sing each song?

Opinion

Buskers who repeat their songs too often within an hour on Auckland City streets can be muzzled under a new council policy.

From Monday, street performers in the city must obtain an annual licence, which is free if they agree to comply with the council's new code of conduct.

The policy acknowledges the important contribution of street performance to the "vitality of our city" and aims to direct "the right activity to the right location at the right time".
