In response to Transport for London publishing the Oxford St consultation results, Keith Prince AM, Chairman of the London Assembly Transport Committee, said:
“It’s good to see there has been such a large response to the consultation. Any changes to Oxford Street will affect a vast number of Londoners and visitors – so we must get it right. Traffic and air quality, provision of a safe cycle route, management of the public space and accessibility are all important considerations.
The fact that thirty-three per cent of those who responded to the consultation did not support the plans, means TfL has its work cut out addressing the issues which clearly concern a considerable number of people.
I am glad to hear that before Westminster Council takes any further decision on how to proceed, these matters will be addressed.”
