Whether they are aware that traffic congestion in Richmond Park at busy times is leading to breaches of the traffic regulations within the park; and whether they will ease the pressure by again permitting exit through the Robin Hood Gate.
§ The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of the Environment (Baroness Blatch)The decision to prohibit vehicular exit from Richmond Park at Robin Hood Gate was taken on the advice of the Metropolitan Police and the Department of 49WA Transport.
