Balderton Street Consultation

The following proposal is part of the Oxford Street scheme which aims to enhance the iconic street's public realm while improving safety, accessibility and comfort for all.  

At Balderton Street, the Oxford Street Programme proposes to change traffic 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.   

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.
