Would a rejuvenated Oxford Street encourage you to shop there more?
Junctions adjoining the street, including at Oxford Circus, are to be redesigned to create more space for pedestrians and 12 more pedestrian crossings will be built.
New ideas and proposals for Regent Street, Paddington and Bayswater and Shepherd Market are also open for consultation.The plans have been drawn up in conjunction with the New West End Company , which represents 600 retail, restaurant, hotel and property owners across the West End. Councillor Geoff Barraclough, the council's cabinet member for planning and economic development, said: "The West End constantly needs to adapt if it is to continue draw shoppers from around the country and around the world.""I want Oxford Street to be a place local communities, residents, visitors and businesses can feel pride in."
Dee Corsi, chief executive officer NWEC said the project was happening against a "backdrop of wider, positive shifts in the market; from the progress of ambitious, multi-use redevelopment projects to the signing of new global flagships, and the return of iconic brands such as HMV. "We are already seeing increased footfall and dwell time as a result of the Elizabeth Line, which underscores the need for an enhanced visitor experience that will encourage more visitors to come more often and stay for longer."
