Revoke Westminster Council’s decision to allow the demolition of M&S Oxford St

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Westminster Council has granted permission for the 1930s building occupied by M&S next to Selfridges to be demolished and replaced with a modern glass and steel building.

Demolition of this beautiful and historical Art Deco building would be nothing short of criminal.

Because this building is of historical importance and Oxford Street doesn’t need to start looking like Canary Wharf. Not to mention the impact of a glass and steel building right next to Selfridges, it would look totally out of place.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

This is a matter for Westminster Council as the local planning authority, not the UK Government or Parliament.
