Music on patios is now a reality in London! After a complete prohibition of amplified entertainment on commercial patios in London we have moved forward with a progessive set of guidelines allowing amplified entertainment on commerical patio. What does this mean? Live music, televised sporting events or simply ambiant backgroun music is now permitted. Footloose no more!
“Our goal is to work with individual businesses to grant permits for up to six months that would allow for amplified entertainment. We will be looking at each individual business, considering things such as the surrounding land uses, their patio floor plan, the location and direction of any amplification and their sound mitigation protocols. Businesses who are successful in obtaining a permit will be allowed to have amplified sound no louder than 70 decibels and no later than midnight. Each approval will be based on its own locational attributes; decibel and time regulations will differ in the downtown in comparison to suburban neighbourhood pubs.” Orest Katolyk, Chief Municipal Law Enforcement Officer.
A public awareness event will take place for business owners discussing the 'ins and outs' of how to apply for a permit. More details to come. Details listed below on the process of applying.
