London to improve for shoppers

London Retailers have announced plans to improve the shopping environment to the Capitals busiest shopping district by cutting traffic and creating more pedestrian areas.

The New West End Company also wants to ban general traffic and put more taxi ranks into Oxford Street. The Capital has also been hit by the July terrorist attacks with people visiting the West End sharply down. The mayor has earmarked £3m in improvements to transport in Oxford Street, Regent Street and Bond Street over the next three years.
