In hindsight, which is a great thing, given that there is no viable vehicular access and there is a huge resistance to using the original entrance, which would have been built for carriages through the protected structures that are the gates, and the fact that 2,000 people a day, on average, walk that avenue, should there have been a different attention in terms of the vehicular access? If events are to be run in the house, there has to be a location for people to come and park. It is not realistic for people to use public transport.
