Birmingham busker - Princess Adele - describes how the ban on music has changed the scene and the city, and why @BhamCityCouncil needs to rethink
North Yorkshire Council is wrong to ban political stalls from its markets - a de facto ban across the region.
Street stalls expose political groups to heckling, disagreement and support, keeping them connected to public opinion as council chambers, party machinery and social media do not.
