The UK's 2nd-largest city wants to ban busking

That above clip is from Paul McCartney's real (but staged) busking at Leicester Square tube station in London in 1984, for the movie Give My Regards To Broad Street. Cesc Sansalvadó, an up-and-coming Catalonian singer, attributed his success to busking, saying, "Singing in the street makes you sing good because if not, you cannot sing five times per week, two hours per day without harming your voice." [...] I have several questions pertaining to the PSPO recommended about street performance in Birmingham. Please answer these questions separately, and number your answers to correspond with each question below. If any one question would take too long to answer, please state that, but answer the other questions. [...] In a world where the council can't afford to support the arts, you might think they'd appreciate the presence of their local street performers, enlivening the spirit of the city without charging for their services. But, in April this year, Birmingham started a public consultation about the aforementioned PSPO.
