Oxford Street District Improvement Project

Oxford Street

Westminster City Council rejected the Mayor of London's seriously misguided plans for the pedestrianisation of Oxford Street after a thorough review following consultation with residents and businesses. 

There are better solutions to secure the future of Oxford Street, future-proof retail, improve air quality and pedestrian safety.

Westminster Council are working hard on our own Oxford Street District Improvement Scheme. It covers a wide area and takes a long term strategic view on how the area will change. A proposed scheme will be unveiled soon and go out to consultation. Westminster will invest £150 million over the next three years.

We will want your views on our new strategy for the Oxford Street District when we go out to public consultation in November. 

In order to keep local residents, businesses, employees and visitors updated, we have launched a brand new website: www.osd.london.

The website will provide details of our proposals for the Oxford Street district when they are ready, as well as information about the consultation when it launches in November and how you can give your views.
