Sadiq Khan's plans to pedestrianise Oxford Street aim to reduce congestion and revitalize the area, which has struggled with high foot traffic and retail decline.
Westminster Council opposes the pedestrianisation due to concerns about rerouted traffic affecting residential areas and the need for direct bus access for vulnerable populations.
Khan emphasized, 'Oxford Street was once the jewel in the crown of Britain's retail sector but... urgent action is needed to give it a new lease of life.'
The pedestrianisation plans are still in the initial stages, requiring statutory consultation and approval from the London Assembly before implementation.
