Before the Election on 22nd November Jeremy Corbyn gave an interview to Waterways World.
He talks about his enthusiasm for cycling up the towpath of the River Lee from Hackney to Broxbourne and rightly urges the need to ‘clean up’ the area around Tottenham lock beset by developers far more interested in developing than they are in local people:
Do you still get much chance to indulge your canal passion?
I visit them quite a lot, mainly cycling alongside them – the Lee Navigation especially, up to Broxbourne. That waterway is actually a fantastic place for wildlife – I just wish they’d clean it up a bit more around Tottenham Lock.
