King Edward Memorial Park is one of the few remaining areas of great public space and access left along the route, and should be maintained.

The King Edward's Park area is an oasis amongst the gated private developments and an essential link along the 'public right of way'. It is unusually highly subscribed, I believe, and that indicates a very good reason for maintaining it's existence alone, without the the very obvious and perfectly suited alternative that will have a far less social and environmental impact.

I regularly travel through the park on foot and by bicycle whilst commuting to/from Canary Wharf and my station in central London. It provides a much-needed alternative to the traffic-choked Highway and overcrowded CS3 cycle superhighway, and is a fabulous place to pause and enjoy a bit of peace in the surrounding bustle. Having works on the foreshore and heavy plant access through the park would be a tragedy.

Thereby a route that leaves King Edward VII Memorial Park as perhaps the only landscape in the GLA laid out by Public Subscription,intact.

The East End is a hard place to live, and we value the few green spaces we have very highly. Not only this, but as a Royally endorsed park I would go as far as to say the plans put forward by Thames water are illegal. The fact that no one who uses the park has been consulted or asked about their opinion stinks of the kind of totalitarian, undemocratic tactics used by companies like thames water.

I hope that this beautiful park, which I have spent much time in, remains untouched by the faceless corporate bullies trying to ruin it.

And so I'm sure that if today's 'Open Spaces' committee at CoLC were specifically made aware that a shareholder-owned multi-national the likes of Thames Water was going to profit from their gift they would want to add their own 'points of principle' to the discussion.

One of their number, 84-year old retired architect Michael Welbank (past President of the Royal Town Planning Institute, Member of the Environmental Audit Board of Northumbrian Water, and Master of the Worshipful Company of Chartered Architects) this year received an MBE for his work with open spaces...

"He said being made a MBE was "...recognition of the very great contribution that the City of London Corporation makes to London and to all its open spaces". http://www.hamhigh.co.uk.

From Hampstead Heath (where Mr Welbank is Chairman) to West Ham Park. So what about KEMP -- should we ask?
