Survey finds support for pedestrianising Oxford Street, but resistance grows in outer areas

"The new YouGov survey found that 63% of Londoners support pedestrianising Oxford Street, including 33% who 'strongly' support doing so."

"Support for pedestrianising local high streets across London was strong but noticeably weaker than for central London and grew weaker as you got further away."

"The survey suggests that people consider such proposals good for the wider society but inconvenient for them personally, indicating a divide in perspective."

"There was also less support for and more opposition to pedestrianisation as you get further away from the centre of London, which is not that surprising."
