I'm an international performer from a non UK country, how does this effect me? International Performers will have to work a working visa in order to apply for a licence or risk being criminalised.

I'm a member of the public, how does this effect me? With less performers on the street you will see more repetitive performances
because international performers ( including the EU since Brexit)will no longer be legally allowed to work in London. Local performers will also be working with reduced spaces and times which may force them to get other work. The freedom of the arts in London is struggling to stay alive
