The Royal Parks management is developing a movement strategy, which will shape how visitors access, experience and move around the Parks.
They are currently consulting on temporary road closure schemes in each of the five Parks, which are aimed at reducing the use of the Parks by through traffic. The closures would be reviewed in February 2021 to evaluate whether the closures should become permanent.
