My comment on the failure of the London Thames Gateway Development Corporation to start work on the promised Lea Valley Walk extension, or ‘Fatwalk’ to use the working title, appears in today’s Financial Times.

In the letter I point out that this is one of the Mayor’s Great Spaces which was due to open in Olympic year.

I should add that the chance of a through route alongside the tidal Lea soon rests with the very exciting Cody Dock project.
