Following thorough consideration of all responses to the consultation, the Council has decided to proceed with the scheme, and make the Traffic Orders for this scheme as it is in the best combined long-term interests of the residents, businesses and visitors in the City. The scheme will improve provisions for walking and cycling, reducing traffic, providing more greening and improving parking and loading facilities. It aligns with Fairer Westminster strategy in terms of improving local high street, promoting active travel and providing more greening. Ultimately, it will create a better place for local residents and visitors, and the opportunity for an enhanced business environment.

• The proposed 25.8-metre “at any time” goods vehicles only loading bay (maximum stay 30 minutes, no return within 1 hour) outside Nos. 17 to 25 Warwick Way is relocated to outside Nos.13-23 Warwick Way, as shown in Drawing Nos. CSHWES1054-01-1203-001 to 002 Rev G
