The Brentford Waterside Forum has been in operation for over 25 years, involving itself in all matters of waterside importance in the area, conducting dialogue with both developers and Hounslow Council. 2. Organisations represented on the Forum include: The Butts Society; Inland Waterways Association; The Hollows Association; MSO Marine; Brentford Dock Residents Association; Brentford Community Council; Brentford Marine Services; Holland Gardens Residents Community; Weydock Ltd; Thames & Waterways Stakeholders Forum; Sailing Barge Research; The Island Residents Group; Ferry Quays Residents Association 3. The Forum's Core Values and Objectives are stated as follows: "The rediscovery of the Waterside in Brentford is putting intense pressure on the water front. There is growing competition for access to the river and canal sides; pressure is mounting to create new economic activities and provide residential development on the waters edge. These pressures jeopardise both existing businesses and the right of Brentford people to access the water, which is part of their heritage. Access to the waterside in Brentford is made possible by the changing economic and commercial use of the water. 4. The role of the Waterside Forum is: to provide informed comment on proposed developments or changes. Brentford Waterside Forum will work with and through agencies to achieve the following: — A strategic context for waterside decision making. — To protect access to the waterside, its infrastructure and the water itself for people to use for recreation, enjoyment and business, emphasising business that need a waterside location to be successful.

    The Jubilee Greenway. Section 3 of 10

    Transport for London. The Jubilee Greenway. Section 3 of 10. Camden Lock to Victoria Park. Section start: Camden Lock. Nearest stations Camden Town , Camden Road . to start: Section finish: Victoria Park - Canal Gate. Nearest stations Cambridge Heath or Bethnal Green . to finish: Section distance: 4.7 miles (7.6 kilometres). Introduction. Section three is a satisfying stretch along the Regent's Canal, from famous Camden Lock to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. This section highlights the contrasts of a living, growing capital, meandering between old districts and new developments, each with their own unique style and atmosphere. This section of the route takes the walker through Camden Town, Islington, Hackney and Bethnal Green, leading finally to Victoria Park. This provides a fascinating look at how London is changing; passing many new developments and constructions, while savouring the atmosphere of the canal. In some ways the towpath side has changed little, whereas the south side of the canal has developed a great deal. For walkers interested in the history of London's canals you will pass near the London Canal Museum on this section. Look out for the Jubilee Greenway discs in the pavement as you go round. Continues below Directions. To start section three from section two, continue along the towpath past Camden Lock Market. Cyclists have to dismount through the market area here. Coming from Camden Town station, turn left, cross over the road and the bridge to find the towpath on the north side of the canal. Once on the canal towpath, pass rows of Vespa Scooters used as cafe seats and a large bronze lion, as well as many food stalls.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their comments over the course of preparation of this Core Strategy which has helped shape it to being a distinctive Hackney strategy. The quality of our physical environment has a huge impact on our lives. Hackney is a unique inner city borough with fantastic green open spaces and a built environment combining a rich mix of architectural styles.
  • At Last a Celebration

    At Last a Celebration

    Talk 9: At Last a Celebration Eight months after the money needed for completion of the Regents Canal had been raised all was ready to open the link between Paddington and Limehouse. In May 1820 subscribers were told the Grand Junction had promised to provide 100 locks of water immediately and 800 over the coming months, so the dry, wide and deep trench beyond Camden was ready to be turned into a working canal. The well laid brickwork, the carefully crafted swing bridges, the heavy, newly finished lock gates and the freshly gravelled towpath would have allowed those associated with the whole project, from the ordinary day labourer, who may not have been born when the Grand Junction branch canal was opened, to John Nash, now nearly 70, to share in a sense of achievement. There was little time for sentiment because, after so many years, there was no time to be lost in generating a proper income, but when the day was set for the official opening, few would have grumbled at the cost of organising a proper celebration. Earlier in the year, on the death of his father, the Prince Regent had become king and so, shortly before the great day it was George the Fourth who sent an expression of His Majesties gratification at the completion of the great and useful work which, so he said, promised so much commercial advantage to the metropolis and such facility to the general commerce of the Empire. By nine o’clock, on August 1st, a crowd gathered at Battles Bridge, where the waterborne procession was scheduled to leave from the Maiden Lane basin.
