Hi, this would be a great addition to the Lea Way and make the links along the Lea much better.

We are loosing too many of our path ways, we need to keep them open as it makes it easier to travel around.

Please open. www.bibliophilebooks.com have had warehouses in this area and still do, and for staff bike or on foot this would make a huge difference.

I have been trying to walk along the Lea and the blocked towpaths are infuriating.

I recently discovered Cody Dock. I travel by bike or walk, and to avoid all the traffic fumes I take the long but scenic paths. It be nice to have this path opened to public. It will cut some time of my journey.

Please give urgent attention to getting this section of the pathway opened up. The current restriction is hugely detrimental to the regeneration of the area.

I've been frustrated by not being able to complete the walk south of Cody Dock. It would be great addition to the local public amenities.

Memories of being stuck in a closed Cody Dock on a bank holiday Monday last year and having to climb over the gate to get out, or face having to run back up to Bow Lock. All the time wondering why the hell the path was closed. So I totally support this petition! I would be great to run all the way down the river to Leamouth.

There’s many amazing walks along London’s rivers. It would be such a shame to deprive locals and the public of another one

This path would allow access for Canning Town residents. I know it would encourage me to exercise more!

Time to get this opened. I'd love to be able to walk the full path.

Nice one for the petition. This needs to happen. The detour up to Star lane and Cody dock is horrible, and sometimes dangerous for cyclists. It's the missing link in a traffic-free route to Stratford

To have this section open will encourage people to enjoy the amazing walk along the River Lea. The Canning Town area is evolving into a major area for new development with loads of new homes being built. Having this path opened will be a benefit to local people.
