Hammersmith and Fulham Council already has a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) that restricts microphones and loudspeakers in parts of Shepherd’s Bush and White City, according to reporting. The council is considering whether the same type of restrictions could be extended to a wider area across West London.
The PSPO is designed to limit noise-related activity in public spaces, and the potential extension would broaden where the measures apply. The existing order covers specific neighbourhoods rather than all of the borough, and any expansion would therefore require further decisions by the council.
While details of the proposed geographic scope are linked to the council’s existing coverage, the reporting from multiple outlets focuses on the possibility of extending the scheme beyond its current boundary. The story centres on the council’s review of how the PSPO could be expanded and what that would mean for public events and announcements using amplified equipment in additional locations.
