Oxford Street Programme Business Case Approved 

An Equality Impact Assessment (EqIA) was undertaken as part of the scheme. The EqIA is a process designed to ensure that a policy, project, or scheme does not unlawfully discriminate against any protected characteristic as defined by the Equality Act 2010. The EqIA is considered as a ‘live’ document, meaning that it has been updated at different stages of the scheme lifecycle.&nbsp;Read the Assessment <a data-id="694" data-type="attachment" href="https://www.oxfordstreetprogramme.co.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Oxford-Street-Programme-Equality-Impact-Assessment-EqIA.pdf" id="isPasted">here</a>. &nbsp;

Rathbone Street & Hanway Place Consultation 

Rathbone Street, Rathbone Place and Hanway Place Consultation

The Oxford Street scheme aims to enhance the public realm of Oxford Street while improving safety, accessibility and comfort. Traffic changes to Rathbone Street, Rathbone Place, Hanway Street and Hanway Place will enable traffic and public realm improvements to Oxford Street&nbsp;without displacing&nbsp;traffic onto neighbouring streets.&nbsp;The Oxford Street Programme, in collaboration with Camden Council,&nbsp;proposes the following traffic changes:&nbsp;<ul><li data-aria-level="1" data-aria-posinset="9" data-font="Symbol" data-leveltext="" data-list-defn-props='{"134225954":true,"134225961":true,"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}' data-listid="22">Reverse motor traffic to northbound only on Rathbone Place.

Great Titchfield Street Consultation 

<h2>Great Titchfield Street Consultation </h2>The Oxford Street Programme has developed a new proposed design for Great Titchfield Street (between the junctions with Foley Street / Langham Street and Riding House Street).&nbsp;&nbsp;In Summer 2023, the public had their say&nbsp;on&nbsp;proposals for the Oxford Street Programme. Since, the Programme team has collated, analysed and in some cases revised our designs within the Programme area.&nbsp;Feedback received in relation to Great Titchfield Street, expressed a desire to maintain its status as a low traffic street and improve the pedestrian way. Following discussions with neighbourhood groups such as Fitzwest Neighbourhood Forum, the OSP team developed an intervention to mitigate traffic in the area and help to enhance the pedestrian experience within the popular restaurant district.&nbsp;The OSP team proposes to:&nbsp;&nbsp;<ul><li data-aria-level="1" data-aria-posinset="3" data-font="Symbol" data-leveltext="" data-list-defn-props='{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}' data-listid="22">Install bollards immediately south of the junction with Foley Street and Langham Street to maintain pedestrian and cycle movement while preventing motor traffic to pass through;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li data-aria-level="1" data-aria-posinset="4" data-font="Symbol" data-leveltext="" data-list-defn-props='{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}' data-listid="22">Convert the section of Great Titchfield Street south of the bollards (between Foley Street and Riding House Street) to two-way operation to allow for vehicle access to that part of the street.&nbsp;</li></ul>These small interventions will reduce the volume of vehicles heading north. Instead, vehicles will use a range of other routes, reducing the through traffic on Great Titchfield Street and creating an enhanced pedestrian environment.&nbsp;

Oxford Street Stage 1 Design

Summer 2023 Consultation Report

<h1 id="isPasted">Summer 2023 Consultation Report</h1>In Summer 2023, the Programme consulted on five of its schemes &ndash; public realm schemes for Oxford Street and Oxford Circus, along with highway schemes Marylebone / Fitzrovia, Oxford Street West and Eastcastle Street. The consultation aimed to gauge support for scheme proposals and solicit ideas and feedback on design proposals from local community members, wider stakeholders and other interested parties.&nbsp;&nbsp;Through the six-week consultation period, OSP received 1612 questionnaire responses, 27 direct emails of written feedback, over 180 attendees of in person presentations, over 500 people engaged at three separate markets across the borough, 12,800 postcards delivered to local residences and 20,755 views of the programme website.&nbsp;All feedback gathered in response from stakeholders and the community has been and will continue to be a guiding influence behind the programme&rsquo;s design, execution, and maintenance. As part of the Fairer Westminster strategy, the following document shares how the Programme has considered and, in many cases, integrated public input received through consultation, into the latter design stages for the highway schemes and the Oxford Street Stage 2 design process.A full report of the consultation, questionnaire results, and feedback are available to read below.

Balderton Street Consultation 

The following proposal is part of the Oxford Street scheme which aims to enhance the iconic street&#39;s public realm while improving safety, accessibility and comfort for all. &nbsp;At Balderton Street, the Oxford Street Programme proposes to change traffic&nbsp;flow to one-way, southbound only, between North Row and Brown Hart Gardens.This traffic change will have no impact on the number of parking bays in the area, but restrict access to some bays to southbound moving vehicles only. Overall, the scheme will have very limited impact on through traffic. The proposal aims to reduce confusion on Balderton Street which currently has a very constrained cul-de-sac for northbound vehicles to turn around as North Row is already a one-way street. &nbsp;&nbsp;

The Oxford Street Programme team has yet to design the public realm space where Balderton Street meets Oxford Street. This will be designed in Stage 3 of the Programme. Community insight and engagement will be carefully considered as part of this design process.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;

A full report of the consultation, questionnaire results, and feedback can be found on the&nbsp;<a href="https://oxfordstreetprogramme.co.uk/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">OSP website</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;All feedback gathered in response from stakeholders and the community has been and will continue to be a guiding influence behind the programme&rsquo;s design, execution, and maintenance. As part of the Fairer Westminster strategy, the following document shares how the Programme has considered and, in many cases, integrated public input received through consultation, into the latter design stages for the highway schemes and the Oxford Street Stage 2 design process. The Programme anticipates that it will publish a Part 2 to this document following Oxford Street Stage 3 design and additional design stages for Oxford Circus to proceed construction phases for the Oxford Street or Oxford Circus schemes.&nbsp;We asked all willing to respond - to what extent do you support or oppose the proposed Oxford Street Programme? The questionnaire proceeded to gauge support for its individual schemes, ask questions about specific aspects of each proposal including ones that aimed to gauge which issues might be more important to respondents and gave respondents the opportunity to write in any remaining thoughts. Here, we outline some of the elements that you asked for, and how we&rsquo;ve updated the Programme in response.&nbsp;
