HC Deb 15 July 2002 vol 389 cc128-9 10.19 pm
Dr. Jenny Tonge (Richmond Park)

The petition from my constituents and those of the hon. Member for Putney (Mr. Colman), and national users of Richmond park, has attracted 16,500 signatures. It declares that

the Royal Parks Agency's plan to close Pen Ponds Car Park, the sole car park inside the perimeter road, removes the only safe and reasonable access to the heart of the park, and so to beautiful Pen Ponds for the most vulnerable groups, young families and the elderly alike … the Petitioners request the House of Commons to urge the Royal Parks Agency to reconsider the planned closure of Pen Ponds Car Park.

To lie upon the Table.
