The mayor's plans to pedestrianise Oxford Street have not been without controversy but
00:08
Sir Sadiq is now determined to go ahead with these plans as soon as possible after what
00:15
he described as the vast majority of Londoners being in favour of the project. Indeed, according
00:24
to his office, 66% of respondents to a consultation were in favour of the pedestrianisation plans.
00:33
Oxford Street is one of the world's busiest shopping areas, with around half a million
00:40
visitors each day. The mayor wants to ban vehicles from a 0.7 mile stretch between Oxford Circus
00:49
and here at Marble Arch, with the potential for further changes towards Tottenham Court
00:56
Road. Detailed proposals for traffic will be consulted on later this year. A previous attempt
01:04
by Sir Sadiq to pedestrianise this part of Oxford Street was locked by then-Conservative-run
01:12
Westminster City Council in 2018. His latest proposals still depend on him obtaining permission
01:21
from Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner in her role as Secretary of State for Housing, Communities
01:29
and Local Government. In order to establish a new Mayoral Development Corporation which would
01:37
provide planning powers, the aim is for this to be created by the starts of next year.
