From Saturday 16. May the park will open from 7Am East side and 7:30 AM West side and close at 5pm. See all therules to observe. Have fun in our local park
As announced yesterday, by Prime Minister Boris Johnson, from Wednesday 13. May 2020 people are allowed to use the park again for sun bathing and group sports. People are allowed to use benches. We are also allowed to leave the home unlimited times.
However, people should only stay together closely only in groups with people they usually share a home with. All other gatherings need to show people staying 2 metres apart. So you can meet up with A FRIEND outside as long as you stay 2 metres apart.
Fines are increasing for breaches.
Further details on the new rules can be found here. I am still awaiting confirmation from Tower Hamlets council on the changes.
Please stay at home whenever you can, and stay away at least 2 metres from those around you.
A strong recommendation is that those who go to crowded indoor spaces like shops or public transport, please wear face masks.
Currently people are expected to keep moving and benches are taped up. So anybody planning a walk needs to consider which route to take because there are no resting stations.
A large police van parked in Approach Road, near the canal. Police divers will do a diving exercise in the canal today, around the bridge and where a lot of boats are anchored.
