I was always amazed at how tranquil these waterways were despite being so close to the industrial estates. You could spot herons & cranes and on a summers day the water was so clear in places you could see the fish swimming around although in other parts it was so dirty due to oil and rubber tyres or overgrown with watercress. Many hours were spent walking around the footpaths without passing another person although once the Olympic bid was successful the trekkers & photographers were out in force. Now the area is largely inaccessible, protected by a high blue security fence and over zealous security cautioning any interested onlookers.</div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> 11,000 athletes will compete in 300 events over 12 days </div> <div> 20,000 journalists will arrive to cover the event </div> <div> Nine million tickets will be sold </div> <div> 500,000 spectators will move across London every day during the Games </div> <div> Staging the Games will involve 63,000 people </div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="fed902c0.jpg" border=0 width="400" height="300" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <B>PUDDING MILL LANE</B> (looking towards Canary Wharf)</div> <bR> <div> As I'm sure that you are all aware, the host city for the 2012 Games will be London.

After London 2012, London will possess some of the finest sports facilities for hosting national and international events. This will enable London to create the London Olympic Institute, a world-class institution for sport, culture and the environment, which will provide facilities and services for elite athletes, as well as encouraging participation in sport well after the 2012 Games are over."</I></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="fd4bb230.jpg" border=0 width="187" height="35" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> -<IMG SRC="ff973020.jpg" border=0 width="371" height="258" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="ffb2c030.jpg" border=0 width="300" height="259" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="ffd2c030.jpg" border=0 width="300" height="259" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <B>OPPOSITE THE STADIUM SITE </B></div> <bR> <div> The epicentre of London's plans is the Lower Lea Valley in the east, where the main Olympic stadium, aquatics centre, velodrome and athletics village will be built. At the heart of the campaign will be the new Olympic stadium and village around Pudding Mill and Marshgate Lanes in Stratford, east London.</div> <bR> <div> At least 3000 new jobs and 4,000 homes will be generated in the surrounding areas, giving a much needed facelift to a borough with one of the highest crime and unemployment rates in the country. Plans to revitalize London's East End for the games included the compulsory purchase of several homes and businesses by the government. The purchased buildings would be demolished to make way for Olympic venues and infrastructure improvements.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="fd4bb230.jpg" border=0 width="187" height="35" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <I>"Assurances from the government that the 2012 Olympic Games will help regenerate the socially deprived East End of London fly in the face of reality.</I></div> <bR> <div> <I>Taking a broad and sober look at the recent history of the games, promises of regeneration appear hopelessly unrealistic. Inevitably the public will foot the bill whilst corporations and property developers will rake in bumper profits, all under the approving aegis of the IOC. Early in 2004, IOC vice-president Kim Un-Yong was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in jail on corruption charges. Thirteen members of the IOC were expelled in the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics bid after investigations into bribe taking. </I></div> <bR> <div> <I>The giant sports stadiums are ideal for hosting large scale tournaments, but of very limited use for the local needs of the East London community. The legacy of underused facilities is unlikely to be any different compared to the experiences of Athens or Sydney. Athens was saddled with a site almost as derelict afterwards as it was before. The Sydney games of 2000 failed to sustain interest, with visitor numbers declining for the following three years."</I></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>ASIAN TIMES</B></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="fd4bb230.jpg" border=0 width="187" height="35" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="101a20300.jpg" border=0 width="288" height="304" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">-<IMG SRC="101b95300.jpg" border=0 width="405" height="304" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="100ae1130.jpg" border=0 width="225" height="275" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="10096d120.jpg" border=0 width="365" height="274" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="1005e6130.jpg" border=0 width="230" height="275" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="1010e0130.jpg" border=0 width="224" height="275" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="10036b130.jpg" border=0 width="363" height="275" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="100fea120.jpg" border=0 width="234" height="274" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <B>THE BOW BACKS RIVERS</B></div> <bR> <div> The press have made it known that the area is currently made up of industrial estates, dumping grounds and polluted rivers though despite all this the area the area is also known for its network of waterways (the Bow Backs Rivers) and is full of wildlife. These rivers are one of the quietest place in London to walk and while a cleanup of some parts would be encouraged you cant help wondering if the regeneration will sanitize the area and remove its character.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> The Lower Lea Valley has been designated as a Site of Metropolitan Importance for Nature Conservation by GLA's Ecology Unit. It has European status as a migration route for birds. In spite of this evidence of the Lower Lee Valley’s importance to wildlife, the developers characterize the Lower Lea valley as ‘corridors of dereliction’. Construction will mean years of disruption and the loss of some of the Valley’s nature reserves. Ecologist Annie Chipchase says ‘How can we be sure that kingfishers will move back? You can’t just put every bird in a box and return it after the Games’. (Guardian Feb 16th 2005). There is much emphasis given to the benefits, in the long term at least, for the River Lea. It is to be hoped that the teal, tufted duck and gadwall which over-winter on the River Lea in Hackney, and the resident heron, cormorant and kingfishers recognize that the disruption is only ‘temporary’ and eventually will return to the Lower Lea Valley. </div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="fd4bb230.jpg" border=0 width="187" height="35" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="6c4c01a0.jpg" border=0 width="192" height="282" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> <IMG SRC="1011121a0.jpg" border=0 width="274" height="282" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> <IMG SRC="6c73f1d0.jpg" border=0 width="319" height="285" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <B>OLYMPIC STADIUM SITE</B> </div> <bR> <div> The rear of the site at the junction of the River Lea & City Mill River which is on an overgrown bank which at the moment is quite innaccessible.

The bid’s stated intention is that "immediately after the 2012 Olympic Games, East Marsh would be restored back to playing fields as it currently is with the addition of new facilities."A pedestrian land bridge will be built to connect East Marsh to the Olympic Precinct during the Games which shall be retained as a legacy for Hackney and Waltham Forest. The Hackney Marsh User Group say The land bridge and Car Park at East Marsh would destroy a fine row of 25 ash trees and many mature trees on East Marsh, including pear trees, willows, many varieties of ash, and black poplar trees, including several 110 year old rare native black poplar trees. Therefore it will be impossible to restore the field after 2012 to how "it currently is" and the wildlife that the trees currently support. Also once its been concreted all over will they really return it all to grass?
