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

This is a fantastic idea. I am a resident nearby - please open the path up!!!!

There is no justification for this part of the canal to be closed to pedestrians. It needs to be open up so that everyone can enjoy walking along it.

Too many of the waterway paths are closed off in London, and we need to change this both for our children and for all our futures.

wonderful idea.... feel free to contact me if anything to be done...

I would love to see this river path open to the public

This would open up access for a lot of people.

Great initiative!

YOU GO TIM

This would be a good addition to the area.

Lovely walk - should be opened up

Access makes good sense.

26 miles..... perfect for a marathon

It would be good to have whole Leaway open

If cycling is to have any chance of replacing cars for commuting and clean air we need safe and easy to navigate paths such as this

This area is already really hard to get around, with routes blocked by waterways, major roads and railways. A clear path here could only help.

Well done whoever started this. Will forward to friends.

This path should be opened

The Royal Docks’ Residents Association is currently lobbying TfL to refurbish and open Rueben’s Bridge at Bow Creek Ecology Park for public use, as part of the Leaway (Lea River Park). As such, opening up Electra Footpath along the River Lea will complement this and will benefit visitors and residents of the major residential development of City Island and Goodluck Hope on the Leamouth Peninsula.

This seems a relatively small project that would be easy to do with a great impact for our community.

This seems a relatively small project that would make a massive difference to this part of London.
