CRP has undertaken Oxford Street West Business Engagement Deliveries and Servicing Research to identify the needs of businesses that will inform development of planning policy on Oxford Street West in response to freight issues. 

CRP is working alongside project partners UPS and UK Power Network on the 2-year Smart Electric Urban Logistics (SEUL) project which aims at providing an innovative set of solutions that will support the future uptake of electric freight vehicles and make a vital contribution to cutting emissions in central London.  

CRP working with private sector partner Northbank BID, is delivering Villiers Street Delivery and Servicing Plan (Phase 2), engaging businesses to help them become more aware about how to make deliveries and servicing more efficient.
