The Mayor of London’s Oxford Street Transformation Programme will deliver a premier shopping and leisure destination, that reflects its place at the centre of a global city, attracting tourists and locals alike, and generating significant economic activity – all subject to public consultation.

* A flagship project demonstrating the Mayor’s commitment to high streets and to London's global status, proposals include:

* Creating a pedestrianised boulevard to unlock the full potential of the street, creating beautiful public space and allowing for activation with a curated offer

* Piloting innovative ideas using smart data to inform cultural and social programming and business support

* Delivering a greener, more sustainable and climate resilient district

* Creating an inclusive neighbourhood that welcomes people of all ages and backgrounds, removing barriers to participation and accessibility

At the end of the 2-year fixed term there may be an opportunity for these roles to transfer into any MDC that is established, subject to consultation and confirmation of the detailed organisational design.
