A pledge on design from the Oxford Street Development Corporation chief, but - if pedestrianisation goes ahead - there are significant details missing. What about step free access & bus routes? Where's the bold vision? All feels a bit like a Temu plan.

Cllr Tim Barnes @voteTimBarnes lays out the truth about Oxford Street.
We worked through the weekend with legal counsel to explore all options. After months of Labour inaction, the advice is that a successful Judicial Review is simply impossible at this late stage.
Westminster voted for change. We will explore every legal avenue. My offer to the Mayor stands. We will not be ignored.

Westminster Labour failed local people at every turn:
- They surrendered OS to Sadiq Khan.
- They voted down our fighting fund to challenge Sadiq Khan’s vanity project.
- And their collusion and capitulation has left it too late to legally challenge Sadiq Khan’s temu scheme via Judicial Review (the deadline for which was 26 May).
However we continue to explore all possible legal options to fight for local people and stand up where Westminster Labour failed

Labour in Westminster haven’t a leg to stand on when it comes to Oxford Street. They didn’t just stand by passively. They *actively* facilitated the Mayor’s plans and prevented councillors from subjecting the decision to proper scrutiny. @westminstertory

At a time where the national Labour government is cutting funding for inner London boroughs, our request is simple: if a levy is introduced, that money should stay local.
We are clear: any overnight tourist levy must work for Westminster, not against it. If a levy is introduced, the money should stay local and be reinvested in the priorities that matter to residents and businesses, including safety, cleaning, and support for our hospitality sector.
Our leader, Cllr Paul Swaddle @paulswaddle discussed this with BBC London’s Eddie Nestor after the King’s Speech.

Very clear articulation of why a decent share of any overnight levy should stay with local councils and not all end up in the hands of the Mayor.

The Labour Party is now in civil war.
Meanwhile no one is running the country.

You are going to be a great councillor.
And, I suspect but with much less insight, a really wonderful new mum.
The last 48 hours have been exhausting but exhilarating! Chuffed to have been elected to serve West End Ward alongside @VoteTimBarnes and @PaulEFishr 💙

My pledge if elected to lead Westminster Council was to appoint a Cabinet Member for Enforcement on day one, to put tackling crime and antisocial behaviour at heart of the administration. I am pleased to announce Cllr Caroline Sargent has been appointed today. More to follow as we deliver our 100 day plan: westminsterconservatives.com…

Brook Street is a prime example of Labour’s cycle lanes imposed without common sense and without listening to local people.
If elected, we will review all major road and cycle-lane plans, including Brook Street, to make sure they work for all.

Such a pleasure to engage with residents last night as part of @sohosocietyw1 hustings . I’m so proud to be part of this @Conservatives team with @VoteTimBarnes and @emgpolitical in West End and colleagues across the City. A week until polls close.
