Loss of Walkway Space at City Road Basin

These photographs show how we have lost at least half of the width of the walkway
along the South West edge of the basin, due to the relocation of some hoardings.

This occurred shortly after the Angel Canal Festival 2012. It was unannounced, and there are
no notices on display to indicate the duration of this inconvenience to the public.

Note that the wide grey gate has been replaced by a smaller one.

This walkway has become quite uninviting.
Its "tramlines" are particularly hazardous for bicycle wheels, buggies and wheelchairs.



This could be a major setback in our ambitions to lure people and events
onto the plaza and the surrounding public spaces.
