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

This must be opened ASAP!

It's a real shame this is still closed, such a tiny section of a long and lovely walk!

Sad to keep people from enjoying the full extent.

Would love to see this section open

Great work, also happening on the River Roding, in Barking, on a much smaller scale.

An excellent idea!

Can’t believe this isn’t fully open yet!

I live in Royal Docks, and love to go on river walks, but can't easily access the Thames or the lea for very far around here. This would make a huge difference to what is possible!

This is an excellent idea and fits beautifully with a Green and Environmental transport policy. More people will walk.

One must ask the question, if this was a public footpath created for universal use, why was it sold to a private buyer? Should this be the case then Newham council has some explaining.

Opening the river pathway will encourage walking and cycling as well as provide more opportunities for residents and visitors to enjoy the outdoors.

Its would be good to open up the river path. Wonderful for walks

usually things like this are a misunderstanding founded on crap, then half understood , legal advice . All that is needed is the sort of sign oxford and Cambridge colleges use which asserts that no right of way is established despite the open access - from memory ( but easy to check) all to do with the Highways Act 1931

Please open the Cody pathway to the public.

yes to accessible river pathways! :)

Yes I would I love to see this part of the towpath open.

Open the walkway!

The residents of Canning Town would love to have an open path from Canning Town towards the Leaway, to give thousands more access to this historical river. Unfortunately the detour through Star Lane is not inviting or pleasant to walk through at all.

Im a resident of LCI and would love this!

I don't understand why it is closed
