Sian Berry responds to the decision to block Marks & Spencer Oxford Street redevelopment

London Assembly Member, Sian Berry, responds to the decision to block Marks & Spencer Oxford Street redevelopment:

“I am pleased that common sense has prevailed and plans to demolish the building have been blocked. The carbon emissions from demolishing and rebuilding this landmark shop would be huge and so harmful in a growing climate emergency. The Mayor should have led on this from the start, and it is a relief that the Government has at least stepped in to stop wasteful and unnecessary redevelopment.”
