@puppet_head@VoteTimBarnes Taxis, busses, bikes and delivery vehicles use it, residents, workers, visitors and shoppers use taxis, busses, bikes and delivery vehicles. It is a terrible idea, that will wipe out small independent firms increase emissions and make life miserable for anyone living either side.
In loving memory of Stephen Fletcher aka “Gazza” who passed away at Whipps Cross last Saturday in the company of Jimmy in the morning and Gary in the afternoon. Our thanks to @WestminsterXtra and @tomfoot1@BerW1ckStMarket#soho
@VoteTimBarnes @ZipcarUK The Mayor is destroying small businesses in the West End. Zipcar is a massive loss. Oxford street oedestrianisation will be final blow.
@sohosocietyw1@thegentleauthor Small businesses with no Covid support (not hospitality) under real pressure now, carrying considerable debt and Bounce Back loan obligations without the Bounce Back - what about lobbying Westminster for small business relief package or government on further BB relief measures?
@adriftinsoho@sohosocietyw1@WalleyVision@SohoDairy@MayorofLondon@BBCNews@TheSun Oxford street has been dying on its feet for decades, it’s not because it has busses and cabs that are vital to businesses, workers and residents of Soho, Mayfair, Marylebone, Firzrovia and Mayfair. It’s because what it offers is increasingly nondescript and irrelevant.
@adriftinsoho@sohosocietyw1@WalleyVision@SohoDairy@MayorofLondon@BBCNews@TheSun Oxford Street is one of London’s most powerful economic arteries and that is what needs liberating. We do not need a stagnant civic centre that becomes a crime scene at night. The answer is not booze, it’s industrious innovation. Booze comes later.
@adriftinsoho@sohosocietyw1@WalleyVision@SohoDairy@MayorofLondon@BBCNews@TheSun Better to reimagine it not concrete over the cracks. What our communities need are parcel depots, storage, recycling, biodigestion , waste management and 10,000 new homes to bring our working community back to life in a powerful economic way fit for the times we live in.
