About the event

Are you a local councillor or do you work for a local authority? UK Music is inviting you to a special webinar exploring how local authorities can create best-practice busking policies.

As part of their Local Music Action Charter work, UK Music will be hosting a webinar that explores how local authorities can create best-practice busking policies to grow the cultural economy, back homegrown talent and bring communities together.

The expert panel includes MU Live, Theatre & Music Writers Official Natalie Witts-Kilshaw and Westminster busker and campaigner Serena Kaos.

Are you a local councillor? We want to know! 

Please take our quick survey with four simple questions to help us map local councillors in membership (My MU log in required to access). It doesn't matter what party you represent – we're looking at how we can support you to advocate for music and musicians where you are.
