Bath Buskers Ban threat

Buskers near the cathedral close in Hereford.
"Bath buskers face amplification ban", reports the WDP (http://www.westerndailypress.co.uk/)
after the abbey rector, Rev. Edward Mason, abandoned choral evensong recently, allegedly because of the raucous playing outside. 
The Council is promising a crack down, the former director of music Rev. Mason says he is "weeping for a city ruined by the clamour of music" and buskers are becoming bitter.
Nothing new there. . . except the threatened implementation of new anti-social behaviour legislation.
It could be turning nasty.
