§ Mr. Stuart Hollandasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what provision is made in parks controlled by his Department for shared pedestrian and cycle ways.
§ Mr. MacfarlaneThere are cycle routes along footpaths and park roads not open to non-park vehicles in Hyde park north of the Serpentine, adjacent to Rotten row and along the broad walk to Speaker's corner. The Albert memorial road may be used in Kensington gardens. In Richmond park there are cycle tracks between Roehampton gate and Richmond gate, between Richmond gate and Ham gate, and from Ham gate to Robin Hood gate. Cyclists may also use park roads which are available to non-trade vehicles in Hyde park, Regent's park, Greenwich park, Richmond park and Bushy park.
§ Mr. Stuart Hollandasked the Secretary of State for the Environment why officials of his Department have 142W refused to meet and discuss provision of shared pedestrian and cycle ways in parks for which he is responsible with cycle-user groups despite repeated requests.
§ Mr. MacfarlaneI am not aware of any invitation from cycle-user groups to meet DOE officials to discuss provision of shared pedestrian and cycle ways in royal parks.
