Would you like your high street to be car-free?

Oxford Street in London is a famous road where lots of people from the UK and around the world go shopping and now it has a part of it that no cars, bikes or buses are allowed on.

It is pedestrian-only between Orchard Street and Great Portland Street from Monday 26 October, which means you're only allowed on that part of the road on foot.

This is said to be only "phase one" of the plans, and the pedestrianisation may eventually stretch the entire length of Oxford Street in the future.

Do you think this is something that could work where you live? Do you want to see fewer cars on your local high street? Or do you think you should be able to drive there? Let us know in the comments below.

There are some differing opinions about whether or not this will be a good thing for the area.

London's Mayor, Lord Sadiq Khan, who came up with the plan, said it was a "momentous day for London", and the changes were the first phase in lifting the street out of "decline".

Some shoppers who were interviewed on the day the new rules came in said they really liked the change.

They said it was a calmer experience for them, and in the run-up to Christmas it will make the popular shopping destination more manageable.

However, some people were worried that it has become less accessible for disabled shoppers, who rely on being able to get close to where they want to shop by car.

And there are concerns that buses and taxis being diverted down different roads will increase traffic and congestion in those areas.

What do you think? Would you want a pedestrian-only shopping area where you live? Let us know in the comments.
