I am afraid that it has not been granted. BTW, we occasionally do deliveries to the Police Station in Hyde Park. Those trips are authorised (point 2 above) Iain,

Perhaps we could ask for general permission for all commercial cycles while we're at it? http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si1997/19971639.htm "Acts in a Park for which written permission is required 4. Unless the Secretary of State's written permission has first been obtained, no person using a Park shall - ... (27) drive or ride any vehicle which is constructed, adapted or in use for the purpose of a trade or business except as specified in Part I of Schedule 2 to these Regulations;" which in turn reads: "Regulation 4(27) Vehicles constructed, adapted or in use for the purpose of a trade or business which may be driven or ridden on a Park road 1. A taxi. 2. A vehicle in use for the purpose of transacting business with any person either residing in a Palace or Park or using land therein under licence from the Secretary of State. 3. A vehicle in use for the purpose of the repair or removal of any other vehicle which is broken down in a Park."

But well done for stopping another needless theft. I don't know why the police don't go down to Brick Lane market where so many of these stolen bikes get resold, and just put the scares about these people. How many officers would that take?

I too hope she did buy that lock. Police and bureaucracy can sure be frustrating, especially police-bureaucracy. Good on you. I too hope she did buy that lock.
