Cheapside Area Strategy
The Cheapside Area Strategy includes a range of environmental
and transport improvements for the Cheapside area, together with
proposals for cultural and leisure opportunities. The aim is
to create a vibrant and attractive environment that will support
the renewed Cheapside as the main retail centre in the City.
A public consultation on the Strategy will run from 17 July 2008
until 1 September 2008. An exhibition of the proposals will be on
display in the Guildhall Ambulatory during this time (entrance off
Aldermanbury).

The Street Scene Challenge plays a key role in fulfilling the City
of London’s commitment to improving the City’s streets and creating
a refined and legible urban environment for the City’s residents,
workers and visitors.
Each year £1 million is available to fund a wide range of joint
initiatives to enhance the street scene, using high quality design
and materials.
Whilst every scheme is different, in general Street Scene
Initiative schemes are funded by a partnership between the City of
London and an interested party such as a developer, building owner,
or Transport for London. The City of London's contribution will
vary but if the funding is derived from parking income
which must by law be spent on highway improvements.
The City of London is committed to continually improving the
appearance and function of the City’s streets, to provide a high
quality environment that is fitting for the world’s leading
financial and business centre.
