Sophie Shrubsole, chief executive of Westminster Business Council, insists any plans to pedestrianise Oxford Street need to earn the support of the business community.

At Westminster Business Council , we are always supportive of any detailed, fully costed plan designed to bring investment to our area.As a result, it is concerning that the announcement by Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, of his proposal to pedestrianise Oxford Street left the local council feeling blindsided.

Naturally, WBC and its members, in common with all 60,000 businesses in the city of Westminster, want to see investment and growth in our area. As part of that desire, we welcome any developments that deliver high-quality shopping and hospitality experiences.There are several challenges that must be considered, however, before our community will be reassured that the pedestrianisation of Oxford Street is a totally positive move.
