Petition to open Electra Footpath on the River Lea & provide another stretch of walking access along this historic river

With more and more development happing in our area we need to make sure there is sufficient access for residences.

Very nice idea.

I first covered the campaign as an East London journalist to open up the Leaside walk back in 2013, when featuring an article about Cody Dock. This proposal would open up the Lower Lea Valley and increase regeneration to the area; it deserves media and public support.

The 'right to roam' responsibly is enhance when dedicated footpaths are established. What a shame that parts of the Thames Path have been 'blocked off' by gated developments.

The more path available the better!

Wherever possible, in our increasingly overcrowded cities, it's important for spaces to be opened, especially along rivers

Great idea

I agree with this

Please let us walk freely! Thank you

A simple solution that would benefit an entire community. Please consider this issue.

Please open the path.

Please open it ASAP

.

This path should be open

This would really help build the island community. Please consider this.

Opening up access to closed paths along rivers, waterways and the coast almost always brings a great improvements in thousands of lives.

Something that is clearly common sense shouldn't need a petition and yet sadly here we are. What an asset that's being currently allowed to be wasted. OPEN THE PATH.

Please open this up ASAP for summer it would be such a boost to the area!

This is a longstanding issue which now needs to be resolved.
