Diamond Geezer has written an excellent piece on the failure of the London Thames Gateway Development Corporation to build the Fatwalk.

The Fatwalk is the final section of the Lea Valley Walk which should follow the tidal Lea rather than the rather dull Limehouse Cut.

He rightly points out that the volunteer group at Cody Dock may have a plan to build the key bridge itself but it is reduced to raising money by appeals.

How about a donation from the LTGDC which has surplus funds?

It appears that the Mayor of London has cut the Lea Valley Walk out of the Olympic legacy.
