How Hockley Circus would look under bold plans to ban cars – Birmingham Live
An interactive ‘car-free vision’ presented at Soho Road shows a way to reduce pollution and improve quality of life

In the old district council building on the Soho Road, Sandra Green, a car-free campaigner, is busy squeezing as much information into a presentation about a car-free vision for Birmingham icons – including the Hockley Circus.
“A car-free city is free of the dangers of pollution and emissions caused by mass private car ownership,” she said. “It’s not a city with no cars at all.
“There are many people – including some disabled people – who can’t get around without a car, but reducing the number of cars in cities will make their lives easier.”
