I love the canal and Green Way but its a shame there's not more litter being pick up. Often the water is full of bottles and theres glass and cans all over the towpath. This makes cycling risky.

I like to come and sit down here for a bit of peace and quiet. It'd be good if there were more benches. I also like to bring my grandchildren down to feed the ducks. I like the duck rafts, otherwise there's nowhere for the poor things to go. All the sides around here have been built on - so many new flats. I used to see herons here but they've gone now because of all the building work.

I really like it down here because you can just sit with your friends. Sometimes I get scared because boys come off the estate on mopeds and they go down the paths fast. They sometimes rob people too and I never see any police down here ever. I wish it was a bit greener too, you can walk to the bottom (Ropemakers Fields) but it's a long way.

I come down here to fish. It's changing now since they built the new Locks. I think the water is less salty and now there's loads of huge crabs in there, they grab my line and bite you when you try to get them off. I used to see two kingfishers over there but they've gone now beacsue of all the building I think ..it's a shame, they were beautiful.

There's been a lot of improvements to the Limehouse Cut bit and I like the signs - they make it much better for cyclists. The floating bridge under the motorway linking to Bow Locks makes it easy for me to cycle to work. I love the Green Way where you see falcons. I hope that they don't build on that bit for the Olympics. I really would like to believe the Olympics will be positive for this area.
