City council in London is looking into options to help erase some archaic city by laws that restrict local converts and other events. Current by laws limit noise to 90 decibels to no later than 11pm, with changes explored through public consultation. The laws seem a bit old fashioned to some, so city council is undergoing an examination of the existing by-laws to make them less restrictive.
The reports of the study will be released before the 2012 festival season. Print companies in the London area are actively involved in local festivities, by creating poster printing for local outdoor events. A potential change in regulations by reducing some of the restrictions may mean more concerts in future and more work for printers.
City council is looking at extending the 11pm limit, however, it warns that changes will likely not come into effect until 2013. Staff will consult with concert organizers, downtown residents affected by the noise and other stakeholders before committing to change.
With many proponents and opponents to change, the council will study the variety of perspectives on the issue and make recommendations in the spring. A public participation meeting will also be held.
The city of London is making other pilot changes that will take effect this year and will transform festivities. City council has approved a one -year pilot project to allow two beer gardens within Victoria Park during festivals.
Whatever the city decides, print companies will have a busy time advertising upcoming outdoor events as the warmer weather nears and temperatures rise.
