Sir Sadiq Khan's plans to ban cars from Oxford Street have been handed a fresh blow - just months before they are due to come into force.The Tories have now confirmed they will be taking "all legal avenues" to fight the pedestrianisation of the shopping street after winning back control of Westminster City Council.Sir Sadiq gave the £150 million proposal the go-ahead in February, ordering a traffic-free zone to be in place by the end of the summer.The London Mayor claims that the revamp will "unlock the true potential of Oxford Street, attracting more international visitors," and providing a space that is capable of hosting "world-class events" while boosting shopping in the area.
