London mayor Sadiq Khan says 'urgent action' is needed to regenerate the busy shopping street.
Plans to pedestrianise part of London's Oxford Street have been announced by the capital's mayor Sadiq Khan.
Under the proposal a 0.7 mile stretch would be pedestrianised between Oxford Circus and Marble Arch, with the potential for further changes towards Tottenham Court Road. The project is expected to cost about £150m, with City Hall officials hoping local businesses, private funders and new revenue streams could foot the bill.The now Labour-run Westminster City Council, which is responsible for the central London street, said it was blindsided by Mr Khan's plans - only finding out details on Thursday - but it would "work constructively" with the mayor.
