Wellington is moving ahead with plans to ban cars from four main "golden mile" streets - Courtenay Place, Lambton Quay, Manners and Willis Streets.

The streets will only be open to buses, cyclists and pedestrians. Side streets will also be closed off where they intersect with them.

Car parks would be removed and footpaths widened, and Midland Park on Lambton Quay would also be expanded.
