"I was lucky," says Council Leader after lockdown lock-in
By Guest 5th Nov 2021
The leader of Richmond Council, Cllr. Gareth Roberts today told how he managed to 'escape' from the Woodland Gardens in Bushy Park, after the gates were locked.
He said: "I'm lucky. I was able to clamber over a fence and up onto a wall. We helped the lone older female we met to do likewise.
"But what if we'd been with somebody in a wheelchair, with anxiety disorder, somebody physically incapable of climbing.
"Sheer negligence by the Royal Parks."
Most of the Bushy Park gates have been closed overnight because of anti-social behaviour near Hampton Hill cricket pitch.
