The Mayor of London has today launched a public consultation on his plans which would see a 0.7-mile stretch of Oxford Street pedestrianised.
Sadiq Khan has unveiled a £150 million plan to pedestrianize Oxford Street, aiming to transform it into a pedestrian-only zone. The proposal, which includes a public consultation from February 28 to May 2, spans from Oxford Circus to Marble Arch, with potential extensions. Critics worry the plan could lead to increased crime and safety issues, while supporters highlight economic and environmental benefits. The plan addresses past opposition, including concerns about traffic, safety, and business impact, and includes measures to mitigate these issues. The goal is to revitalize Oxford Street as a world-class shopping destination.
