The Mayor wants to ban traffic from Oxford Street (Image: Getty)
"It's not an issue of bypassing the council. We're working with the council.
"But you've got a street here that contributes ￡22billion towards the local economy, the national economy, the city's economy, 500,000 visitors a day.
"So we've got to make sure we work with the council, with the Government, with businesses to get the best possible deal we can for this street.
"I don't believe anybody can sensibly be happy with the status quo. I wasn't a fan of the Marble Arch Mound. I'm not sure anyone else was."
“The mayor is still ploughing on regardless of public opinion locally," Paul Swaddle, councillor for the Regent’s Park ward and Conservative group leader, told the Telegraph.

He added: "I think [it shows] a great arrogance, and he’s treating Westminster council and even the Westminster Labour group with contempt.
“We do not think pedestrianisation will work for Oxford Street. Until someone comes up with a way to mitigate its impacts, there’s no way we can support it, and I don’t support the way he’s doing it.
