Portswood High St pedestrianisation

We the undersigned petition the council to Close the High St as a thoroughfare to all vehicles apart from vans doing deliveries between restricted hours.

The High St is dying and in cities where pedestrianisation has been done well it has revitalised the space increasing footfall and increasing spending in the district. The space would be available for street markets, events and leisure activities. Families would enjoy the quieter space with less pollution and enjoy the café culture that has developed along the street. All vehicles would be directed to use Thomas Lewis Way and buses would use either Brookvale Road or Thomas Lewis Way. There would be bus stops beside Trago Lounge and opposite Blockbusters for people to access the High St. Cars could park in Portswood Shopping Centre, Waitrose, Westridge Road (accessible via Belmont Road) and in Sainsbury's car park.
