Overview
- Locals say roughly 150 acres of previously accessible land have been closed off around Forest Lodge, including the Cranbourne Gate car park.
- A resident identified as Tina calls the restrictions selfish and urges the couple to "open their eyes" to the consequences for the community.
- New reports describe drivers taking longer routes to reach a nearby Christmas tree shop as security staff monitor the area and manage access.
- Residents report weekend crowding in other parts of the park as walkers are diverted from closed paths and fields.
- The Crown Estate, which manages the property, says it is minimising the impact on park users as far as possible.
