Soho/Noho Restaurants & Pedestrian Plan

Westminster Council announced their plan to reopen the hospitality sector, by closing roads in Soho and W1 generally to enable restaurants and bars to have tables outside.

Details of the scheme are in these two publications (I have included the older one as that has the map of planned closures):

•  https://www.westminster.gov.uk/sites/default/files/wcc_hospitality_pub_bars_and_restaurant_guide.pdf

We discussed the proposals with Westminster Council to ensure that the businesses of APA members were taken into account to- in terms of delivery and access.

We have been assured that the road closures will not begin until 5pm each day.

Overall it is a bold plan which should help get Soho back on its feet.
