Whilst I'm down with them upgrading the lighting and introducing more planting, I'm not sure about it reverting to a traditional road.

The plans also want to take Carnaby back to its roots by making it look more like a road again. The street would remain pedestrianised, but could have a ‘road’ and pavements re-installed. The developers want to un-do a lot of the changes that were made in the ‘80s and ‘90s when artificial stone paving was installed.
