HC Deb 09 May 1949 vol 464 c78W
62. Sir W. Wakefield

asked the Minister of Works why five miles of roads in Richmond Park still remain closed.

Mr. Key

Certain lengths of roadway amounting to five miles on weekdays and to two miles at weekends are kept permanently closed to motor traffic, partly to prevent damage to crops by deer and partly to preserve the peace and quiet of the park. All roads in Richmond Park are open to cyclists and pedestrians.
