Soho: Business owners urge mayor to not forget area

Soho business owners are calling on the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan not to forget the central London area as he continues plans to regenerate Oxford Street.Soho Business Alliance , has now written to him calling for the whole district to have a mix of pedestrianised or low traffic shopping areas.

It also said the pavements were too narrow for pushchairs and wheelchairs and compared to other historic city centre districts, there was no space for alfresco dining in Soho. He said: "We are fighting to ensure local people have a powerful voice in the Mayor of London’s plans for Oxford Street and that the whole of the West End benefits.

He added that partnerships with the Metropolitan Police, Veolia and local businesses work to tackle issues like anti-social behaviour and keep Soho clean, "and the new wave of CCTV cameras being rolled out in the area underlines that commitment"."Some major Soho businesses were not even asked for their views before the letter was sent to the mayor," he wrote.

In the 1960s, there were proposals to deck the street with pedestrians walking on podiums as traffic flowed beneath, the Guardian reported
