Have your say on proposed expansion of existing restrictions
We are seeking your views on proposals to extend current restrictions on the use of sound amplification equipment in public spaces across additional areas of the borough.
How the restrictions work
Under the Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO):
You must not use microphones, loudspeakers, megaphones, loud hailers, or similar equipment to amplify speech or music in designated public areas, 24 hours a day.
You must not use mains electricity or generators to power amplification equipment in these areas, 24 hours a day.
These rules are enforced through a PSPO. Police Officers, Police Community Support Officers, and authorised council officers can issue fines to those who repeatedly breach the restrictions.
Why are we consulting?
We have received an increasing number of reports about anti-social behaviour and noise nuisance linked to the use of amplified sound (such as loudspeakers and megaphones) in areas not currently covered by existing restrictions.
To help address this, we are proposing to extend the restrictions to additional locations.
Current restrictions
Restrictions are already in place in parts of:
Shepherds Bush Outside Shepherds Bush Tube station Along Uxbridge Road On Shepherds Bush Green
White City A40 Westway (between Heathstan Road and Dorando Close) Area between Sawley Road and South Africa Road, including Batman Close Wormholt Park
Hammersmith Town Centre King Street (between Nigel Playfield Avenue and Butterwick Road), including the area around the Broadway Centre.
Existing restricted areas, plus Hammersmith Park and additional area bounded by: North: South Africa Road (from Wood Lane to Bloemfontein Road) West: Bloemfontein Road and Coningham Road (from South Africa Road to Goldhawk Road) South: Goldhawk Road (from Coningham Road to Shepherds Bush Green East: Wood Lane to South Africa Road.
Hammersmith Town Centre
Existing restricted areas remain with no extension proposed
The proposed extension areas for White City and Shepherds Bush are shown in blue on the map, the existing areas are in red.
Exemptions
The restrictions do not apply to:
Authorised council events and activities
Premises or vehicles where amplification is permitted under licence conditions
Have your say
We would like to hear your views on these proposals.
The consultation closes at 5pm on 8 July 2026
