A week after it is pedestrianised every sane Londoner will be saying, "Why didn't we do this years ago?"
Except the thousands of Londoners living near Oxford Street whose neighbourhoods will be full of the displaced deliveries, taxis and buses.
I weep for them. They'll have to pop out to the old pile in Buckinghamshire for a few days.
Not everyone who lives in the environs is stinking rich, and having been
plagued for a while by a certain class of vehicle sitting with their
engines idling outside my property can well attest to how annoying it
gets after a while.
However, rather than railing against it, people must realise that there
are rules and regulations around all of this and hence they should be
campaigning for better enforcement of them.
If it really comes down to I don't like X scheme with Y benefits as it
will take me 2 minutes extra to get home (I recently spoke to some
council planners about another scheme and even they were amazed how
often this is cited as a reason to commplain vociferously about things)
then you're on your own though.
