I have looked on a map and it would appear that the area is within L B Tower
Hamlets.

If you go to this link:

http://www.towerhamlets.gov.uk/templ...l.cfm?sid=2234

Its the contact page for the Highways Department who have formal
responsibility for Rights of Way (though another department (if any) may do
the repairs etc. Give them a call they SHOULD know!

Good luck,

I'm now working in E14, at the very mouth of the river Lea. The nearest
DLR station is East India, but Canning Town is very little further and,
of course, is served by the Jubilee line. I've been walking up the Lea
to East India Dock road and crossing there to get to Canning Town
station (there is supposed to be a footpath crossing the Lea there, but
it is out of use, being reconstructed, I think).

Today at Canning Town (I shouldn't have gone home that way; the
expletive deleted Jubilee Line STOPPED at Canary Wharf due to signal
failures in the Waterloo area, so I went home via Lewisham which took
ages), I noticed a map of the area which seems to show that if I crossed
the Lea via the pedestrian/cycle path on the Lower Lea crossing, there
is a pedestrian/cycle path up that side of the Lea towards Canning Town.
This looks as though it would be a shorter walk for me.

Does anybody know whether this path is currently in use, or if it, too,
is being reconstructed. I should hate to go all that way up that side
of the Lea only to find I couldn't get any further and had to go sadly
back again....
