Summary

Fleet Street is set for a major makeover with wider sidewalks, more green spaces, and better pedestrian access—designed to handle a surge of 40,000 daily visitors from a new police HQ and courts complex. Two design options are under consideration, both prioritizing walkers, cyclists, and wheelchair users, with differing approaches to car traffic. Local businesses and historic landmarks like Dr. Johnson’s House stand to benefit, and the public can weigh in until July 27th. Construction could begin as early as late 2027.
