Summary of Decision

The Cabinet Member has approved the new approach to investing in the programme recommended by the Oxford Street District programme review and capital expenditure of £4.58m to progress the items outlined in the report.

Reasons for Decision

The proposed revised programme scope seeks to focus public realm and strategic interventions on Oxford Street and complementary schemes to create a vibrant, accessible, and attractive place(s). This will allow a focussed delivery approach.

A new business case will be prepared which considers the revised programme scope and facilitates the identification of objectives and outcomes that align with the Fairer Westminster approach. Furthermore, the business case will outline the costs, benefits and risks in proceeding with the programme and specifically the rationale for preferred option.
