IT’S ALL ABOUT THE LEA Simon Myers, CEO Gasworks Dock Partnership Over the past 5 years we have been joined by thousands of people who have all come together to share in our dream of transforming Cody Dock from its former derelict state and reactivating the Lower Lea River, creating a place that its communities can say they helped to build. With the clean-up phase nearly complete and the Leaway footpaths now on the map and already being used by thousands of people every month, we felt it was time to celebrate all that is Lea. Throughout this year we will be hosting a body of works and activities under the umbrella title of ‘All about the Lea’, with the broad aim of increasing the Lower Lea’s profile through a celebration of its heritage, ecology, people and its often hidden gems. Our Spring Launch Event on the 25th of March 2017 will celebrate the opening of the new LEAWAY Twelvetrees Ramp and the connection it now provides Cody Dock and Cody Wilds to the wider Lee Valley. This event will host the launch of a month-long retrospective of photo journalist Peter Marshall’s work, spanning four decades and his visual diary of the Lower Lea’s recent and unsung history.
