The riverside walkway under Lea Bridge Road

Back in the Spring, we did a posting about the work British Waterways were then about to do on the walkway under Lea Bridge Road to replace and upgrade it in time for the London 2012 games [Walkway upgrade]. As part of that work, British Waterway (BW) put LED lighting into the handrail. However, the walkway remains in darkness (we're not sure it ever worked). We think BW did a really good job improving the walkway, but it is a pity the lighting on the handrail isn't working, particularly as the nights are much longer now. It would certainly improve safety for both pedestrians and cyclists using the path in the evening / early morning. We've written to British Waterway to try to find out what the problem is and when it can be rectified. We'll let you know when we get a response.
