London 2012 Olympics

The fact that many of the off road well used commuter routes through East Hackney such as the River Lee and Greenway are closed is scandalous and counter all promises regarding access

David, there was never any promise that the Greenway would be kept open during the Olympics, as it was always going to be one of the major pedestrian access routes. They actually wanted to close it years ago (can't quite remember when that was going to come into force) during the entire construction phase, but we managed to persuade them to keep it open.
