decision was widely welcomed by business leaders, though social media users were quick to pour scorn on a widely-shared CGI mock-up of the pedestrianised street, which features brightly-coloured green paving and models of jumping men strung between Oxford Street’s historic buildings. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nNews Updates\nStay ahead with our three daily briefings delivering all the key market moves, top

suspended on wires,” Samuel Hughes, fellow at the Centre for Policy Studies wrote on X, sharing another image depicting the street paved with cobblestones. But it appears the image attracting the ire of X users dates from a previous iteration of the plans and does not represent City Hall’s current ambitions for the project.Westminster council ‘gazumped’ by Khan The decision represents a victory for City Hall over Westminster City Council who, despite being Labour led, have long been sceptical of the plans. \n\nIn September, the mayor was accused of giving the council only an hour’s notice before announcing a trial car-free day – a claim Sadiq Khan said was “completely untrue”. Responding to the mayor’s decision to green-light the project, council leader Adam Hug gestured to his council’s long-standing criticism of the plans as “a matter of public record”. But he committed to engaging with the Greater London Authority to make the new Oxford Street “work for local communities, as well as for London”. He said: “Over the last eighteen months we have secured a number of key improvements from the Mayor of London’s original plans to ensure that the proposals for Oxford Street are more deliverable and better meet the needs of local residents, businesses, and wider London.”\n\nThese concessions include ensuring that Oxford Street East, which is not due to be pedestrianised, retains bus traffic, he said.“We will continue [to] work pragmatically with the Mayor’s team to ensure a bright future for the nation’s high street as well as for our residential communities and businesses,” Hug said.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0
