Chef, theatre designer and football chief to advise Sadiq Khan on pedestrianising Oxford Street
"The 13 board members have been told not to travel by car or taxi, to avoid domestic flights and to minimise their consumption of alcohol at work events. New chief executive Nabeel Khan will formally start work within weeks once he has served his notice at Lambeth council, where he has overseen its kerbside strategy of replacing car parking spaces with trees and bike racks."
"The Oxford Street development corporation formally came into existence on January 1. It is expected to gain planning powers over the Oxford Street regeneration area in the spring enabling it, rather than Westminster or Camden councils, to benefit from financial contributions made by developers. Thirteen members of the corporation's board have been announced, including restaurateur Asma Khan, theatre designer Es Devlin and Keith Edelman, who as Arsenal managing director from 2000 to 2008 was involved in the club's move from Highbury to the Emirates stadium."
