Oxford Street pedestrianisation plan under debate in London

Original: Everyone hates Oxford Street. Will pedestrianisation save it?

London's Oxford Street, long criticised for congestion, poor air quality and a decline in its retail appeal, is at the centre of plans to pedestrianise the famous shopping thoroughfare. Supporters argue removing traffic could revive the street as a destination, while sceptics question whether car-free access alone can fix the underlying problems facing high-street retail in the city.

Why now: A high-profile Guardian feature has renewed debate over London's plan to pedestrianise Oxford Street and whether it can fix the street's decline.
