Closure of Richmond Park - Footpaths
Dear The Royal Parks,
From time to time, Richmond Park is closed to the public. For example, when deer culling occurs.
More recently, the park was closed on 18-20 February 2022 due to storm damage.
On what authority is the park so closed, given that there are public rights of way (ie public footpaths) that go through the park? Can the public still access such rights of way during the periods of closure?
Yours faithfully,
DT
