Whether the management of Holyrood Park has to give notice of road closures in the park and what the reasons are for this position.

I have asked Graeme Munro, Chief Executive of Historic Scotland to respond. His response is as follows:Holyrood Park is a Royal Park managed on behalf of the Scottish Ministers by Historic Scotland. Historic Scotland normally aim to provide one week's notice of forthcoming road closures to local radio stations, emergency services, the City of Edinburgh Council and motorists' organisations. Occasionally, roads are closed at short notice for emergencies.The roads within the park are classed as Crown roads and are not formally part of the local public road network. The Holyrood Park Regulations grant powers of closure to the Royal Parks Constabulary.Because the Parliament development will close the east end of Holyrood Road, with traffic being diverted through the park, Historic Scotland and the City Council are currently discussing an agreement which will govern future road closures in the park.
